Abstract:
Discusses briefly types of moral questions which appear in the extant responsa literature (i.e. halakhic questions presented to rabbis) from the Holocaust period or, in most cases, written after the Holocaust and pertaining to that period. For instance, whether one Jew is more worthy of being saved than another, whether one is allowed to commit suicide, whether one may say Kaddish for a Righteous Gentile, whether one is permitted to acquire baptismal certificates, whether one must do penance after the war for having caused the death of another with and without intent. Notes that many of the rabbis' answers showed compassion and broad-mindedness in light of the tragic circumstances in which these questions first arose, and they tended to be more lenient than strict in determining their halakhic decisions.
