The Trial of God (as it was held on February 25 1649 in Shamgorod) (first published in English in 1979 by Random House) is a play by Elie Wiesel about a fictitious trial (Din-Toïre or דין תּורה) calling God as the defendant. Though the setting itself is fictional and the play’s notes indicate that it should be performed as a tragic farce the events that he based the story on were witnessed first-hand as a teenager in Auschwitz.
