"Blessed be God's name?

Why,  but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled.

Because He caused

thousands

of children to burn in His mass

graves? Because He kept six crematoria

working day and night,

including Sabbath

and the Holy Days?

Because

in His great

might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau,

Buna, and so many

other factories

of  death? How could I say to Him: Blessed

be

Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all

nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our  fathers, our

mothers, our brothers

end up in the furnaces?

Praised

be Thy

Holy Name, for having

chosen us to be slaughtered

on Thine

altar? "
