1995 The Trial Of God - Elie Wiesel (Schocken Books, New York)
Paperback a few scuffs but hard to find.
The Trial of God by Elie Wiesel is a play that was first written in 1979 and later published by Schocken Books. In this dramatic work, Wiesel explores profound theological and philosophical questions in the aftermath of the Holocaust, particularly examining the relationship between humans and God in the face of unimaginable suffering.
The play is set in a fictionalized version of a Jewish shtetl (village) where the residents, after experiencing the horrors of genocide, decide to put God on trial for allowing such atrocities to happen. Through this trial, Wiesel examines themes of faith, justice, and human suffering, ultimately leaving the question of divine justice unresolved, reflecting the complexities and contradictions that survivors of the Holocaust often grapple with.
The work is significant because it continues Wiesel’s broader literary exploration of trauma, memory, and the search for meaning after the Holocaust. The Trial of God reflects his ongoing exploration of faith in the face of suffering, a key theme in many of his works.
