The idea and ideas within the play are truly fascinating and are well worth visiting. Elie Wiesel is indeed a master of writing, not only about Jewish suffering but also about human suffering in general. However, I can't quite give this play a full five stars.

It begins rather slowly, and there are one or two plot turns that seem very forced. It takes an eternity to reach the trial itself, and then it doesn't fully follow through with the idea of a "trial of God" in the sense of having a complete and comprehensive trial. In fact, it seems that the trial itself lasts only a few pages.

These issues end up being rather nitpicky in the grand scheme of things. Nevertheless, there are many other elements of the play that work extremely well. The characters are richly developed and full-bodied, the dialogue is solid, and the atmosphere of the place seems to seep out of the words.

Overall, this is a very good play that just misses the mark of being truly great. It has its flaws, but it also has many strengths that make it a worthwhile read or viewing.

They, along with the emotionally captivating characters and the setting,


create a truly brilliant piece in Jewish trauma and distrust.

The characters are so well-developed that I felt as if I knew them personally.


The setting adds an extra layer of authenticity to the story.


Overall, this is a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good read.

I can't wait to read more from this author.

Many times after the Syrian revolution, I held such a trial in mind.

It was a trial that played out in the recesses of my thoughts, with various scenarios and outcomes.

Sometimes, I imagined a just and fair verdict that would bring closure and peace to the war-torn nation.

The trial would be a platform to hold those responsible for the atrocities accountable.

However, at other times, I feared that the outcome might be influenced by politics and power struggles.

The hope for a truly just trial seemed to fade away.

Nevertheless, the idea of such a trial continued to linger in my mind, a symbol of the longing for justice and a better future for Syria.

It was a constant reminder that the wounds of the revolution could only be healed through truth and accountability.

Even though the actualization of this trial seemed distant, it remained a powerful concept that kept my spirit alive.

Maybe one day, a trial would take place, and the world would witness the pursuit of justice in Syria.

The best play I have ever read is an absolute gem.

Despite being very short, it manages to pack a powerful punch. The story unfolds in a concise yet captivating manner, with every word carefully chosen to convey the essence of the plot and the emotions of the characters.

The simplicity of the play is its greatest strength, allowing the audience to focus on the core themes and ideas without being distracted by unnecessary details.

It has a unique charm that lingers in the mind long after it has been read, leaving a lasting impression.

Whether it is the clever dialogue, the engaging characters, or the thought-provoking storyline, this play has it all.

It is a testament to the power of good writing and a reminder that sometimes, less is truly more.

I would highly recommend this play to anyone who loves the art of theater and is looking for a quick yet fulfilling read.

Kurze, aber dennoch sehr anregende Bücher sind selten. Dieses Buch ist jedoch eine wunderbare Ausnahme. Es enthält einige wirklich intensive Zitate, die mich tief beeindruckt haben. Zum Beispiel,

"Es ist uns erlaubt, Gott in Frage zu stellen, Gott herauszufordern, von Gott Rechenschaft zu verlangen. Und das bedeutet nicht, Gott zu schmälern, sondern ihn wirklich ernst zu nehmen."

Dieser Satz verdeutlicht, dass wir als Menschen das Recht haben, Gott zu hinterfragen und ihn zu fordern. Es zeigt, dass wir Gott nicht einfach akzeptieren sollten, sondern ihn auch kritisch hinterfragen sollten, um ihn wirklich zu verstehen.

Weitere interessante Zitate finden sich auch in den anderen Aussagen des Autors. Zum Beispiel sagt er: "Ich möchte lästern und schaffe es nicht ganz. Ich trete gegen ihn an, schüttle meine Faust, schäume vor Wut, aber es ist immer noch eine Art, ihm zu sagen, dass er da ist, dass er existiert, dass er nie zweimal derselbe ist, dass die Verweigerung selbst ein Opfer für seine Größe ist. Der Schrei wird zu einem Gebet trotz mir."

Dieser Satz verdeutlicht, dass es möglich ist, trotz unserer Kritik und unserer Wut auf Gott, ihn doch zu erkennen und anzuerkennen. Es zeigt, dass auch die Verweigerung und die Kritik ein Ausdruck unserer Anerkennung von Gott sein können.

Insgesamt ist dieses Buch ein wunderbares Werk, das sowohl theologisch als auch literarisch sehr interessant ist. Es bietet viele Anregungen und lässt einen nachdenken, über die Rolle von Gott in unserem Leben und über die Bedeutung der Religion in der heutigen Welt.

For a long time, I have just been engaged in getting the trial going.

During this process, I did not have a profound philosophical feeling as I had expected.

I had anticipated that there would be more in-depth thoughts and insights emerging.

However, it seems that the actual situation did not meet my initial expectations.

Perhaps there are still many aspects that need to be further explored and understood.

I hope that in the future, I can have a more profound perception and understanding in this regard, and be able to gain more valuable experiences and lessons.

Only in this way can I continuously improve myself and make greater progress.

La sua genesi: Nel regno della notte, io avevo assistito a un processo davvero strano.

Tre rabbini eruditi e pii avevano deciso una sera d’inverno di giudicare Dio per il massacro dei suoi figli. Mi ricordo chiaramente: io ero lì, e avevo la voglia di piangere. Tuttavia, nessuno piangeva.

Chiamare Dio alla sbarra per il male che accade è una tentazione comune a tutti, anche ai carnefici.

Un bambino, un ragazzo che ha vissuto l’orrore... e che ha avuto il suo Dio e la sua anima assassinati...

“Mai dimenticherò quella notte, la prima notte nel campo, che ha trasformato la mia vita in una lunga notte e per sette volte sprangata.

Mai dimenticherò quel fumo.

Mai dimenticherò i piccoli volti dei bambini di cui ho visto i corpi trasformarsi in volute di fumo sotto un cielo muto.

Mai dimenticherò quelle fiamme che hanno bruciato per sempre la mia Fede.

Mai dimenticherò quel silenzio notturno che mi ha tolto per l'eternità il desiderio di vivere.

Mai dimenticherò quegli istanti che hanno assassinato il mio Dio e la mia anima, e i miei sogni, che hanno preso il volto del deserto.

Mai dimenticherò tutto ciò, anche se fossi condannato a vivere quanto Dio stesso. Mai”. (Elie Wiesel, La Notte)

C’è un bassorilievo alla fine del percorso dello Yad Vashem di Gerusalemme, che raffigura il medico e pedagogista polacco Januz Korczak, morto a Treblinka nel 1942. Il volto triste, tristissimo, di un’amarezza senza fine che abbraccia i suoi figli morti, i bambini dell’orfanatrofio ebraico del Ghetto di Varsavia.

Ecco... Dio, per me, ha quel volto e quella mestizia, … e quell’abbraccio... e una tenerezza infinita...

Letto una prima volta nel 1986 (gli avrei dato 4 stelline, anche allora). Non so dire altro...

Questa storia è così profonda e impressionante che lascia un segno indelebile nella nostra mente. Elie Wiesel riesce a descrivere con maestria le sofferenze e le speranze di quei giorni terribili. La sua scrittura è poetica e coinvolgente, facendoci immergere nella realtà dei personaggi. Il brano che cita “Mai dimenticherò...” è particolarmente emozionante, perché ci permette di capire l’intensità delle emozioni dell’autore. Inoltre, il riferimento al bassorilievo di Januz Korczak aggiunge un altro livello di profondità alla storia, ricordandoci la figura di un uomo coraggioso e generoso che ha dato la propria vita per proteggere i bambini.

In conclusione, questa lettura è stata un’esperienza molto significativa per me, e mi ha fatto riflettere sulle questioni più profonde della vita e della morte.

I finished the play in just a few days because it moves so quickly.

It's a story that is profound yet accessible. Even hours after finishing it, I can't seem to pick my jaw up off the floor. It's mind-blowing and awesome.

The Trial of God is a perfect vehicle for a subject that is beyond weighty. It is an incredible way to honor and preserve the ideas shared by the Rabbis during the trials they held in concentration camps and ghettos for future generations.

The play's fast pace keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. The profound themes explored in the story are presented in a way that is easy to understand, making it accessible to a wide range of audiences.

The impact of the play is truly remarkable. It leaves the reader with a sense of awe and wonder, and a deeper appreciation for the ideas and experiences of the Rabbis during those difficult times.

The Trial of God is a must-read for anyone interested in history, religion, or the human spirit. It is a powerful and moving work that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page.

A complex, thought-provoking and haunting play that, rather than providing any definite answers, raises many interesting questions.

This play takes the audience on a journey through a maze of emotions and ideas. The characters are richly developed, each with their own motives and desires that are not always clear.

The plot twists and turns, keeping the viewers on the edge of their seats and constantly guessing what will happen next.

As the play progresses, it becomes evident that there are no easy solutions or simple answers to the problems presented. Instead, the audience is left to grapple with their own interpretations and opinions.

This play challenges the viewers to think deeply about the human condition, about morality, and about the nature of truth. It forces us to confront our own biases and assumptions, and to question the world around us.

In the end, this play leaves a lasting impression, haunting the viewer's mind long after the final curtain has fallen. It is a work of art that will continue to be discussed and debated for years to come.
