The Role Of God In The Holocaust

Do not talk to me about God; the reality of the holocaust during WWII is enough to show me that he does not exist. No one can deny that one of the most horrific acts of human genocide in the 20th century was the Holocaust, committed by the Nazi German, who felt that they held a higher race superiority than that of the Jews.
