NO! thats crazy. Hitler was crazy and the jews i'm sure werent perfect but God didnt allow Hitler to kill them. God isnt going to killl millions of people because of 'disobedience'.

Answer 2

The answer is most likely one of the following:

1) Your God has a very sick sense of judgement.

2) Your God doesn't exist.

OR:

1) He wanted to let y'all know that you gotta accept him as your God

2) Read The Bible, 'cause it may look like an old long boring book, but it actually says stuff about people who are exactly like Hitler who try to ruin this world but doesn't suceed 'cuz the devil ain't that powerful...

Answer

God allows men to make choices, including the wrong ones and he allows the consequences of those choices to play out, even at the expense of human life as a lesson to others. And while we look at things like the Holocaust with disgust, terror and sadness (and we definitely should), good came out of. Good that has helped SAVE far more lives than were lost- improvements in medicine and technology, improvements in national infrastructures to improve quality of life, and improved communication between countries to prevent another such war, just to name a few of the most obvious.

Hitler was just a man and people like Stalin were FAR worse, if you want to talk actual numbers.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, this is something that a number of Religious Jews on the one hand and Religious Christians and Muslims who are otherwise Anti-Semitic believe. Their argument is that the Holocaust was a punishment for Jews increasingly becoming less religious and more secular. In this way both Religious Jews and Non-Jewish Anti-Semites can use the Holocaust as a cudgel to criticize those Jews with whom they disagree. In the Religious Jewish case, the argument is that "had Jews not gone secular and integrated into European society, they would not have been killed". As a result, Secular Jews must convert to Religious Judaism in order to avoid such violence. The Non-Jewish Anti-Semites argue that the Jews' failure to convert to the proper religion or accept a lower, isolated position in society was a crime against God and, therefore, God could punish it. In both cases, it is a shameless form of victim-blaming and is wholly unwarranted.

Furthermore, from a factual perspective, this view is nonsense. The Holocaust is simply emblematic of the most violent form of behavior that humanity can wield. This same explanation for God's will makes no sense in regards to the Cambodian Democide, the Rwandan Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Chinese Democide, the Soviet Genocides, etc. It also makes no sense that the Holocaust was responsible for the destruction of the Religious Jewish Community to a greater degree than the Secular Jewish Community. If this were truly an attack on Jews for their rebellion against God, it would make much more sense for the Religious Jewish Community to come out unscathed or receive minimal damage.

Answer 4

God didn't allow or disallow anything. In Jewish belief, there is free will. That means even bad people are free to choose their own actions.
