Eliezer's Disgust

Eliezers's Disgust for God's Silence

This picture represents God's Silence throughout the Holocaust.  He was quiet and His people suffered.  Eliezer is convinced and disgusted that God has kept silent through their suffering.  He is confused, and constantly questions his beliefs.

Eliezer felt abandoned by his "God".  He felt as if he had just let them all suffer and gave up.  Eliezer was quietly filled with rage and the feeling of being alone.  No matter how much their people prayed, there was no instant salvation.  They were lost and confused.  Their "God" had left them is what they convinced themselves considering He was quiet through their screams.
