In his book The Crucified God, German theologian Jürgen Moltmann quotes the Jewish writer Elie Wiesel, who powerfully wrote in his book Night of his own horrifying experiences at Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi concentration camp. Wiesel recounts an event that is particularly moving:
The SS hanged two Jewish men and a youth in front of the whole camp. The men died quickly, but the death throes of the youth lasted for half an hour. “Where is God? Where is He?” someone asked behind me. As the youth still hung in the torment in the noose after a long time, I heard the man call again, “Where is God now?” And I heard a voice inside myself answer: “Where is He? He is here. He is hanging there on the gallows.”
