2. Where Was Hashem?
I keep on asking, "where was G-d at Auschwitz, was he sleeping"? I want to know where G-d is now that over 22,000 Israeli Jews have been killed in their own homeland, thanks to an indifferent world? All over Europe, the Holocaust seems to have faded from memory, except for the deniers.
Anti-Semitism is again in vogue, promoted in the Muslim world, and accepted in parts of Europe that should know better (Italy). Auschwitz was a symptom of a much larger problem, the hatred of Jews for 2,000 years, expressed weekly in churches throughout Europe. I ask, where was the Pope, why was he silent? I don't fathom the excuse that it would have made the Jews plight worse (how much worse can it get?). The remnant of Jewry that survived are lucky, that's it. But over 50,000 former NAZIs still walk in Germany and Austria, free to live out their lives. Is this justice? Why are they still enjoying their grandchildren, unfettered from retaliation?
