ch. 5 Rosh Hashanah, textual evidence

The Jews inside Buna come together for a service to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. Although many believed this an act of great faith, Elie did not agree.

Eliezer wonders, angrily, where God is and refuses to bless God’s name because of all of the death and suffering He has allowed. Eliezer thinks that man is strong, stronger than God. During this year’s Rosh Hashanah, unlike all previous years, Eliezer is not asking forgiveness for his sins. Rather, Eliezer feels himself to be "the accuser, God the accused."
