Why did many millions of Christians let 12 million Jews, disabled, gypsies, etc. die? Must you hold God responsible for all sins? That's the problem with Christianity -- Jesus died for your sins. Where's the accountability and self-responsibility?
Jesus also died in order to relieve you of all responsibility for the genocide occuring today in Darfur, Sudan. Who will step up to save them if the Christians continue to ignore them?

A better question is why did Humanity stand by and let 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust.
As a Jew my anger is directed much more at those that could have dose something but failed to do so.

why did God ? What did God have to do with it?
Why did the entire German society organize and legalize the extermination of those people?
Why didn t the Churches cry out? Why did the US Government daily ignore all the warnings>? Why did they refuse to bomb the rail lines to the death canpos when they know in 43 what they were?
Lots and lots of people did nothing. God had lots of actors in the field but they were not listening.

Or to put your question in a different, more famous way:
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Yes, there are answers, and requires deep study, starting from our role in this world vs the next, what is our role here on this world, etc.

Something about god's love. It is a complex topic that only those who don't really give it much thought can understand. Note the ridiculous gamut of excuses that people give their god. Hilarious.

Books have been written on that. Did you want a short answer? Good luck.

It was obviously His will. It will be interesting to see what happens in Palestine.

I can't answer that one. But He was there, and for those that believed in Him, they are now with God.

God isn't in charge of the world. Satan is. Eve gave it to him. God never intended for death at all.
