Who is to blame for the greatest of all crimes? Awaiting their fates of extermination or hard labor, a group of new Auschwitz inmates begins asking how God could allow so much suffering. Impulsively, the men decide to do just what the title says: They stage a mock trial in which God is the defendant for abandoning His chosen people. As the hour approaches when many of them will die, they reach a solemn verdict in a surprising conclusion you will never forget. "The great questions are asked and left as unanswerable as ever, but one thing is made clear: If there is God, he created some awfully fine actors."-The New York Times. As seen on PBS Masterpiece.
