Reply To: Holocaust survivor became atheist

As I have heard a few times from R’ Moshe Meir Weiss…..we cannot judge these survivors. We were not in their place. He would tell the story of his uncle who survived physically but not religiously. At one point during the war, his uncle gave advice to Rabbi Weiss’s father that saved both their lives. Rabbi Weiss stated that who knows the reward his uncle will get for all the torah that he and his siblings learn due to the act that his uncle’s advice saved his father’s life.
