The Holocaust shatters the Jewish belief in God, who takes care of his people, leads them to redemption. Extermination camps refuted the concepts of omnipotent, merciful and absolutely good God: if God is omnipotent and absolutely good how he allowed Auschwitz? Auschwitz calls the Jews for re-evaluation of their faith and their trust in God. Facing the destruction of the Jewish people a question is raised: In case Jews want to remain Jews how should they continue to live as Jews after the Holocaust? Jewish theologians struggled with this question and proposed either a new way of living for the Jews or a new definition of God. The article presents a few theological reactions which reflect deep and original Jewish thinking. The theologians discussed in this paper are: Richard Rubenstein, Emil Fackenheim, Eliezer Berkovits, Hans Jonas, Irving Greenberg and Ignaz Maybaum.
