LA RÉMISSION DE DIEU
(Martin Mahdal et Martina Adamcova, Québec-République Tchèque, 2007, 23 min, v.o.f. subtitled)
Pour quelqu’un qui, comme le docteur Roden a survécu aux
atrocités des camps de concentration nazis, la part de Dieu est
ambiguë : « J’ai vécu des choses qui m’ont
poussé à proclamer l’inexistence de Dieu!... car,
si Il existait, il en pourrait jamais laisser passer des atrocités
comme l’Holocauste. Pendant longtemps, moi et ma femme Eva, on Lui
en voulait. Cependant, avec le temps, on a commencé à Lui
pardonner. »
Dr. Roden went through the concentration camps of Terezienstadt and Auschwitz
at the very young age of seventeen. Raised in the religion-indifferent
environment of the first Czechoslovakia Republic, he hears his first prayer
on is departure to camp. His opinion of God is directly influenced by
atrocities through which he lived. His and his wife’s philosophy
is expressed by following: “If you went through the experience as
we did, you became pretty sure of the inexistence of God. He couldn’t
allow such a thing to happen, but still if He does exist, Eva and I used
to be angry with Him. Lately, as we can see our grand-children grow and
our lives decline, we forgive Him.”
This documentary is the man’s portrait and his indestructible love for his wife. A Love stronger then the Nazis!
