Watch Masterpiece Contemporary online: Episode 6 God on Trial

In the Jewish tradition of arguing with God, Jewish prisoners in Auschwitz decide to put God on Trial. Why is there so much suffering in the world and what kind of God would allow it to happen? Universal questions about faith and philosophy are at the heart of God on Trial, which was inspired by the legend that a group of concentration camp prisoners conducted a mock trial against the Almighty God. From all walks of life, a physicist, a glove maker, rabbis, a law professor and at least one criminal weigh the evidence and offer thoughtful arguments taken from history, science, theology and personal experience.
