This book discusses R. Amital's attempts to grapple with the theological implications of the Shoah; like most modern Orthodox rabbis, he does not pretend to have any idea why God tolerated such an atrocity.
Nevertheless, he did not abandon Judaism. He writes that while Jews were murdered, most of the supposedly cultured Christian/secular world of Europe stood idly by; as a moral matter he prefers to be on the side of the murdered.
