In both Christianity and Judaism, they all view suffering as something that builds one's character. This does not necessarily mean that they both have the exact same view on this, though. For example, Judaists have a stronger urge to protest against suffering. They do believe that suffering is part of the human experience, and accept that, but it does not make them believe that they should just allow it to happen. On the other hand, Christians are more so on the side of "it is a punishment from God", rather than something you should resolve. This does not go for all Christians or Judaists, though. This is just one of the core beliefs of each faith. On the other hand, they both want to lend a helping hand to others in need, or suffering, as they are taught to do from their scriptures. For a long time, and just even as recent as around 80 years ago, Jewish people were constantly the victim of suffering. The Holocaust, lead by the Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler, ordered the massacre of over 6 million Jewish people, and didn't just stop there. He put countless Jews into Concentration Camps, in order to work them to death, and to run cruel, inhumane experiments on them. Some of the experiments done, such as some of the ones that Nazi doctor, Joseph Mengele carried out on people, were "stress tests" on Jewish people, where they would subject them to cruel scenarios, such as letting them freeze to death to test how long somebody could survive nude in the winter, testing chemical weapons on them, and so much more. But the suffering by his hands did not even stop there, he ran even more gruesome experiments, such as dismembering, and re attaching limbs to people, and even sewing people together. Of course, this was not just limited Jewish people, but a vast variety of other races and groups, too. Not only did the Holocaust cause them great suffering, but so did other historical events as well. Jewish people have been the target of an unimaginable amount of hate crimes, as far back as they were even established as a race.
