God created the the universe and all that is within it as well as its inhabitants, and certain properties and laws that are followed by everything. For example, when person A stabs B with a knife, what would be the result? B is gonna be cut, start bleeding, and depending on the location and severity may die. Why? A knife is a sharp object that can penetrate skin, muscle and organs. The knife is shaped and built by humans, but God gave the metal its properties, that when shaped, built, and shaped in a certain manner, will produce certain predictable results. God gave everybody and everything a set of properties (known or unknown) that will be followed due to a previous cause or by choice, and results and events follow the choices we make.
People have died in thousands and millions all over the world for different reasons throughout history in natural or man-made disasters. Yes the holocaust like any other disasters is cruel, and more non-Jews were killed in the Holocaust (depends how u define it) and WWII than in the Holocaust, and hence it is not the cruelest event to take place in history. If u are a believer, the greatest natural disaster must have been the "Great Flood," where most of the world's inhabitants died.
If ur question is trying to specifically signal the Jews in the Holocaust, and since they were labeled as the "chosen people"by God according to the Jews, how could God let them die in such a disaster. Well, let's first focus on the "chosen people" and everything else will fall into place. God in the bible has turned against the non-Jews and Jews who didn't obey Moses commandments. How could he punish Jews if they were the "chosen?" Furthermore, God provides for and helps those who were not Jews but acted according to His commandments. Therefore the "chosen" ones in my opinion and that of those many others, are not the ones that are from one race, but those who follow God's commandments regardless of race. Being Jew does not automatically translate into being a believer or follower of God's commandments. At the time, the Jews in Egypt were being oppressed, so they were the "chosen" to be delivered from such an oppression. In no way does it mean that they will be forever chosen because of their race. If such a statement were true, then it would be racist in nautre and unjust, and God is the most Just.
So being "Jew" doesn't automatically make anyonel "chosen" nor the best of mankind on earth nor the only one who can receive God's blessing or assistance. Hence the Jews like all other races can and will experience natural and man-made disasters. These laws were set and are in motion. And all are being tested by how they abide by the rules.
In summary, everybody suffers under oppressive leaderships and regimes, regardless of their race or belief system; and everybody flourishes under just governance.

man did it.
God has been letting man do unto man without his interference, ever since he abandoned the jews for rejecting his covenant with tyhem.
As these are the "Appointed times of the Nations", man has been committing many attrocities against man.
The reason ia that when Adam and Eve rebelled at the garden, they rebelled againjst God's rulership. God has since been allowing the passage of time for man to try every form of government he can think of so as to prove beyond a doubt, that man cannot rule himself.
So even though it doesn't seem fair there is a plan for all those who die befor ebeing given a chance to respond to the good news of God's Kingdom. The first ressurection of the scriptures is for this purpose.(:-o)

God did not create the holocaust.
Why did man create it? Why did the world leaders not act sooner to prevent such an attrocity. Why did the people believe Hitler and his goal of an aerian race, and why do people still secretly believe in it today. Simple, because we are human beings, full of errors, full of overloads, full of ourselves, power corrupst absolutely and we the people give way too much power to anyone who can just order the death of people. AGAIN, God did not do this, men live and learn from mistakes, but boy how slow must we seem to God. We haven't learned to live at peace on earth, haven't learned how to feed the hungry (millions of them), haven't learned the meaning of spirituality, and so we are stuck. And God gets blamed for all bad things men bring on this earth. How sad.

It's easy to put the blame on God, since God makes a very big target, but the fact is that we are the authors of our own experiences, via God's gift of free will and hence, the universal law of attraction.
The universal law of attraction maintains that the vibrations we emit into the world via our conscious or unconscious beliefs, thoughts, emotions, words (written and verbal) and actions, and whether they are positive or negative, love-based or fear-based, lead to the events that we experience in return, in one form or another.
These vibrations occur singly, by individuals and collectively, by societies and cultures.
It is humanity's collective vibrations of fear and hatred that lead to disasters, natural or unnatural, including war and terrorism, disease, pestilence, starvation etc. etc.
God gives free will and does not revoke or interfere with it, so it is a gift with a double-edged sword, so to speak. Once given, it is our responsibility. Not God's

God did not let the The Holocaust happen. We did. God created us, gave us free will, then stepped aside and let us do with our lives what we will.

I would how you would scream if you were forced to preform God's perfect will in your life, neighborhood, community, nation. I could just hear all the screams that you hate being forced.. Good thing God doesn't do it that way.. Only trouble is He must allow men to do evil as well as good.. That free will stuff can be a pain wouldn't you say?....Jim

you got a factor, Mani. human beings tend to blame God by using fact we are scared to stand the certainty that those are all results of our judgements. besides, i've got faith human beings with the aid of nature are good. all of us are good. yet those damaging happenings are commonly all guy-made. God gave us coaching for I continuously refer by using fact the Noble Qur'an.. and God gave us the experience of determination making. whilst finally confronted with 2 options, to do good or to do undesirable, that's generally been us.. our judgements, our determination and we'd desire to continuously take duty of the outcomes it reasons. Even the failings given to us as tests or trials that are previous our administration, it rather is nonetheless our determination a thank you to answer it interior the top. (a million) "How can He enable us to try this to a minimum of one yet another, (2) and could He ever forgive us for what we've completed." What I stated in this fact is that it someway contradicts itself. the 1st component of it claims that those are all made with the aid of God, however the 2nd line admits that's us who did it. Verily, in basic terms ALLAH (s.w.t) is time-honored with of what's superb for each guy or woman and we'd desire to continuously continuously follow Him no remember what to confirm that us to be on the superb suited direction, Insha'Allah :)

God does not have to allow evil or good or anything. He can do whatever he wants. We need to understand that God has a plan for our lives and for everyone's lives. He allows things to happen to us to build us to what we need to be. It is up to us to pray and ask God what His plan is for us, and to accept and submit to Him fully. Sometimes it hurts, but only God knows what is best for us and what is to come.
