There have been quite a number of substantial responses, and it will take me some time to sift through them.
Some appear to have grasped the difference between a setting-forth, a description or explanation, of Christian teaching, on the one hand, and proselytization, on the other. I would not here try to engage in the latter. I was at pains to point out that one can arrive at much the same conclusions
without
the Christian mythological construct
— as I said,
"The right question and right answer don't depend on mythological mediation"
—
per that portion of the post (

) subtitled "EIN SOF."
A different way of putting it, in case no one has already covered this in the posts I've not yet examined, would be:
Is God
ever
absent from
your
times of need?
I assume Judaism answers, "No," and such answer obviously does not depend in any way on Jesus.

Sophiee
, it does seem clear that the Nazis intended this atrocity as some sort of re-enactment of the event alleged in the GT.
Zvi
, no, I have not read that work.
Uri
, please note that I've not used any form of the verb "sacrifice" in this discussion.
Whoops, I see just now that that term is quite prominent in
Sophiee

. It is not a term I introduced. She continues:
We should not blame G-d when men choose death.
I have no interest in excusing evil. It also makes no sense to suppose that I blame God, in that I locate God in these situations as wholly present with the person who is suffering, present at the atomic level, at the cell level, at the sensory level ...
It is interesting that Benedict XVI asked the same question as did the Jewish character in Elie Wiesel's novel.
Would people here agree, or disagree, with Wiesel's answer?
