Serious Question: YHWH and The Holocaust

[derekcfpegritz]

All of my recent research into the Holocaust has...well, it's made me question a lot of things. About the unimaginable stupidity of humanity, and the utter brutality that can and will emerge from anyone at even the slightest provocation. But in all my readings, there is one question that I've never really seen asked, or answered.

If anyone reading

I've studied the Holocaust at great length, mostly by way of a course at Pitt, "History of the Holocaust". My eyes were opened to even more horrific shit that went on before, during and after the war. I have several books from that course that may be of interest to you.

On a personal note, my grandmother's entire family (except for her Mom) was sent to Chelmno where they were slaughtered. Were they Jewish? Nope. They were just very poor and worked as servants in the home of a Jewish governor in a small town in Poland. My gram and great-gram escaped 3 months before the Nazis destroyed their town in 1939. Before I die, I'd like to visit Chelmno and pay my respects.

When my Mom told me about this dark corner of our family history, I was about 10 years old and I immediately questioned how a kind and loving God could allow all those senseless murders to happen? It was around then that I stopped believing in one "being" who called all the shots and focused more on the metaphors and allegorical teachings of Christianity. Which, don't get me wrong, many idiots still find a way to misconstrue.
