Job and the story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum
The Book of Job and the interview of Menachem Daum both have some similar details to each other. God kills Jobs family - his wife and kids. Fela, Menachem's mother had to give away her baby to be killed in order for her survival. Both Job and Fela had children taken from them and killed. Job ended up getting another family back, and Fela ended up getting married and having another child, but both Job and Fela are scarred from the passing of their early children. Another similar concept in the Book of Job and the interview is that Fela and Job both had happy times in their life before anything bad happened. Before Job was tested by God, he lived in a life of luxury, with lots of money, servants, animals and a mansion. Fela was happy when she was a student in Beis Yaakov, the network of Orthodox schools for girls in Poland. Although Fela's life could not be compared to this life of luxury, this was a point of time for both of them when they were happiest. Also, Job and Manachem's were both physically tortured. The Book of Job and the interview of these people was also very different. In the Book of Job, Satan was a character, who was not in the interview. It is also different because Job is one person and the people in the interview are representing many people who experienced the Holocaust.
