A commenter (Halacha)on VIN about the Holocaust

# 12 is indeed correct. The comments following his, suggesting that G-d no longer participates in this world are heresy. G-d spells out the holocaust in the tocha'ah, he does not pass out lollipops, and grade on a curve. He gives orders we follow. There is no notion here that Hitler yshv"z is hero. "Harbei shluchim yesh limokom." If Hitler didn't do the job there would have been a plague or some other device to accomplish G-d's will (yes read it again, G-d's will) in Europe. Hitler volunteered for the job, he will get his just "reward" in gehenom. Regarding the view of Modern Orthodoxy on the holocaust, i.e., Judaism without G-d, the holocaust was due to politics, the economy, historic Christian anti semitism, and everything else except the one thing that caused it: The violation of the Torah. Don't tell me the children and the righteous died also. "Kivan she'nitain reshus limashchis lihashchis aino maivchin bain tzaddik lirosho." The establishment of the Zionist state earlier wouldn't have changed things, armed training wouldn't have change things, American intervention wouldn't have changed things. Tshuva usefilo utzedaka are the only things that make a difference.

It's interesting that the ultra orthodox Hungarian and Poilish chassidim that saw their families murdered before their eyes, suffered in Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen, and lost everything, walked out and said "this is a gezairah min hashamyim, we accept it, we are not mi'harer after the RSO." un gegangin viter. The only people that scream "NEVER AGAIN" are the American Jews that sat al sir habaser during the holocaust, the non believers, and the Modern orthodox. As if to say: If the RSO ever makes such a gezairah (ch"v,) we could outsmart the RSO because we own guns, learn karate, and meet with Catholic Cardinals in the bais medresh of YU to further interfaith understanding. S'VET GORNISHT HELFIN! You think 200 million goyim in europe decided to participate, actively if not passively, because Hitler y"sh was a good orator? Because there was depression? The holocaust could not have happened, especially not Germany with it's 43% intermarriage rate before the war. Jews were interwined in every area of German life. banking, industry, commerce, theatre, politics, etc. And yet the Holocaust did happened because G-d wanted it to. A reminder, G-d still runs the show.
