Book 22: The Trial of God (Weisel)

When Elie Weisel was in a German concentration camp, some of his fellow prisoners were rabbis. One day they held a trial to determine whether their god had treated them justly. They decided he had not. Then they all got up and went to their prayers as usual.

This is story is much better and more horrible than the play "The Trial of God", which seemed to pull its punches.
