"Blessed be God's name?
Why, but why would i bless him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because He kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? Praised be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar?"


What does that quote mean and how does it relate to one of the following questions:

-What do survival situations and hardships reveal about human nature?
-How does power change an individual (does it change an individual)?

--Thank you so much in Advance!
