Emil L. Fackenheim : a Jewish philosopher's response to the Holocaust by David Patterson

Still searching for a reconciliation of God with the Holocaust. Fackenheim is the closest I've come but I still find something lacking in his philosophy. However he was brilliant and well worth investing the time to read and contemplate his words.
