Reply To: Stealing permitted in order to save ones life?

My ancestor came to the US before the war. He was able to keep fully shabbos, get married, keep kosher, earn enough money to live on, have children. Most of his siblings who did not leave with him were murdered. In the camps, you didn’t keep shabbos, you didn’t eat kosher if you were lucky enough to eat at all. You didn’t think about Torah, you thought about food.

I would not be typing this right now if my ancestor who came here would have listened to you.

-Not to mention the fact that the people who would put their lives in jeopardy to listen to a Rabbi are the ones who would follow the Torah anyway!
