Part III. Studying the Great Makkah
Why Germany?
If only the Am Yisroel would have huddled together in their homes with their parents and grandparents and discussed the news with a clear mind, a great many lessons could have been learned. “Why is this happening?” they should have thought. All of a sudden, Germany – a civilized country – is committing such barbarous acts against them? What’s it for? They should have thought about and discussed it with the ziknei hador; the same way the Bnei Yisroel in Mitzrayim spent time thinking about what Hashem was doing, the German Jews could have done the same.
Why did Hitler come from Germany? Because from Germany came forth the reform; the ideals of assimilation came from Germany. And from Germany, defection from the Torah and rebellion against Hakadosh Baruch Hu spread all over Europe. So the Nazis began in Germany because that’s where the wickedness of the Jews began – the wickedness that ruined the Jewish people.
