Yanki Tauber writes of the Rebbe’s opinion on the Holocaust that “Only G-d Himself can answer for what He allowed to happen.”
G-d answered me in my time of suffering by saying, “I
never thought you would get this far (astray from an upright path).” Then, He told me, “I AM punishing you,” which
was music to my ears because I thought that G-d not only did not exist, but
that if He did exist that He must not care what is happening to me. Nothing could be further from the truth to
believe G-d does not care. His answer
for the tremendous suffering of the Holocaust would most likely be something
like, “I was trying to reach you, but when I did you ran away. I was scared that if I spoke to you, that you
would leave Me and that you would run even further in the wrong direction.” What G-d struggles with is empathy. The infinite G=d and Founder of the Universe
has no more of a clue what it is like to be human, than ability for us to see
things from His perspective.
