Torah in Ten: Yisro
The Former Hostage First Request
Elie Wiesel, the renowned author, Nobel Prize laureate, and Holocaust survivor, once recounted his visit to Brooklyn in the early 1960s, where he met with the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
During their conversation, Wiesel posed a poignant question: “How can you believe in G-d after Auschwitz?” The Rebbe sat in silence, his hands resting on the table. After a moment, he shed a tear and softly replied, “How can you not believe in G-d after Auschwitz?”
