Summary:

Following the harrowing ritual of selection for death or hard labor, a group of new inmates unsure of their appointed fates begin asking how God could allow for so much suffering. Impulsively, the men decide to put God on trial for abandoning His chosen people. Amid the outside sounds of prisoners being marched to the gas chamber, the trial unfolds. The group addresses the question: How can there be evil in a universe ruled by an all-powerful, benevolent God?
