Ooh...good question... I'm not a believer, but if the deity does everything...
It's amazing that if good happens, then praise the deity he did it...and if bad stuff then no, people did it, free will... odd... After all read on this site about everything being predestined, that the deity knows all that does and will happen, that everything exists because it did it...so I have to assume actions of people exist because the deity allowed it...

Before we go blaming God for the Holocaust, we should look deeper into the spiritual ramifications of enduring torture and degredation. All the people who suffered Holocaust chose to be part of it. This is something that God remains silent about. We all incarnate with specific duties, and some of those duties are how and when and why we die. Those that suffered the Holocaust chose it before birth. This is no choice of God, rather the individuals involved. Sometimes horrible things must happen to teach all of society, and the Holocaust was an inevitablity, because society had a lesson to learn. Looks as though the individuals that suffered this torture died in vain.

It's an interesting question, without an answer. Scholars and theologians have argued for millenia about how God can be all good and all powerful, and yet allow evil to exist.
As human beings, our minds cannot comprehend the greatness of God, and we come up with words or concepts to describe Him, that eventually conflict with other words, and then we are confused.
The Holocaust was caused by evil people, yet God did allow it to happen. Consider this, however. He also prevented it from being successful. What do I mean by that? The goal of Hitler was to wipe out the Jewish race. God prevented that evil goal from succeeding, and ensured the continuation of the Jews in spite of all the concerted forces of the Nazis to exterminate them. I can't really map those facts to either the word 'accept' or 'deny'.
So the following statements are all true, even though they sound contradictory:
God is good.
God is sovereign.
God weeps over his people, and certainly wept over the suffering of the Holocaust.

God's not the blame 4 the Holocaust. The stupid Nazi a$$holes were responsible. They began taking every little right of the Jews and then forced them in2 filthy ghettos. From there it led 2 the camps and crematoriums. They wanted 2 take control of the entire world; that's y they were killing almost every race in Europe. The reason y the Holocaust ended was bcuz the Soviets and Americans came in and stopped the torturous crimes. I think that right there is an act of God cuz He didn't want 2 c His children being tortured but as 4 the ones who died, i don't know what 2 say about them but all i can say is that it's not God's fault they died.

God had nothing to do with the Holocaust. The responsibility for it is totally ours. Most of the people who had any comprehension of what was going on at the time- either were active in the plan to carry it out- or very busy looking the other way. All God did was watch, take copious "notes" -& help those few people who did anything to save those who were being murderd. God never has to "say" anything. He lets our cruelty & stupidity speak for itself.

perchance Divinity did no longer proceed to be silent, yet substitute into no longer heard over the conceitedness of humanity. to those that have self belief that they are on top of issues and yet scoff on the thought of loose will, how long might it take for each human on the exterior of the planet to have self belief in Divinity if the 1st time they ever verbally proclaimed that they did no longer have self belief they went up in a ball of sooty flame? while in comparison with the size of the Universe, the human suggestions is yet a speck. Any human who believes that they comprehend the way the Universe operates is regrettably fallacious. it is easy to have self belief that each and everybody is chaos or it is easy to come to the top that there is greater occurring than what meets the attention. in my view, my pity for people who stay in Chaos is small and dwindling right now. My admiration for the mysteries of the Universe is extraordinarily super and starting to be as I age.

God had nothing to do with the Holocaust. The Nazi's of Germany did it all. Don't go blaming mans stupid actions on God.

God did nothing to cause the Holocaust, or to prevent it, men were given the freedom to choose what to do with their lives.
If everyone were forced to do good no one could be rightly judged as bad or evil.

God didn't cause the Holocaust, humans did because we are sinful.
