But through his experience in the concentration camps, Elizer lost believe that God even and existed. His believes were lost in that his mind couldn't comprehend the horror of it all. And maybe it was that Elizer didn't want to believe that this was actually happening and tried to blame God for his pain and agony, and just lost believe in every thing.
