Do you hear people speak about that when they teach about the Holocaust? No, you don’t hear that. The whole subject is not even mentioned. People are busy carrying out a propaganda campaign against Hakadosh Baruch Hu. You know what they say? They say that they were all tzadikim in Europe. Ahh, it was a wonderful place – they were all righteous, all kedoshim, and we just don’t know why Hakadosh Baruch Hu would do such a terrible thing to them. What do they mention? The wicked Germans, the wicked gentiles, the wicked Ukrainians, the wicked Poles. It’s all the fault of the wicked nations.
It’s like when a dog is hit with a stick so the dog gets angry and bites the stick. The dog doesn’t think about the person who is wielding the stick. Did you ever throw a stone at a dog? The dog bites the stone. And so the Jewish masses blamed the stick. They blamed the Germans, and they blamed anti-semitism, and the Church. But did they say the truth, that the destruction that happened in Europe was because the Am Yisroel did not listen to Hakadosh Baruch Hu? No, no, no, that’s not what they said.
