God on Trial

Mordechai:
Don't let them take your God away from you too. Whether he exists or not, don't let them take that away too.

[first lines]

Tour Guide:
Unfortunately our admission is not inclusive in your tour price, so sorry you must pay. But, um, the good news it's only 10 zlotas, so not so very bad.

Schmidt:
Imagine God is a surgeon, and he has to remove a gangrenous leg or an arm to cure the whole body. It's a violent act. It's painful. But it is also loving. How would it be if we were living through a time like this? Not a punishment, a purification.

Idek:
What did the Romans want? That the Jews live like Romans and abandon the Torah.

Schmidt:
And where are the Romans now?

Idek:
They are dust.

Schmidt:
And the Torah?

Idek:
Still living, still flowering, still illuminating the world.

Emily:
And was their prayer answered?

Jacob:
[referring to the Jewish people] They're still here...

Jacques:
A thousand million stars in our galaxy alone. If God loves Jews so much, why didn't he fill the universe with Jews instead of stars?

Ricard:
We were brought here on a train. When we arrived a guard slapped my face. On his belt it said "Gott Mit Uns", "God is with us". Who is to say He is not?
