POPE: How could God 'tolerate' Holocaust? - Yahoo! News

God was not silent then, just as God is not silent, now. But the fearful did not hear then, nor do they hear now.

Pope: How could God 'tolerate' Holocaust? - Yahoo! News:

"'To speak in this place of horror, in this place where unprecedented mass crimes were committed against God and man, is almost impossible, and it is particularly difficult and troubling for a Christian, for a pope from Germany,' he said later.

'In a place like this, words fail; in the end, there can be only a dread silence, a silence which itself is a heartfelt cry to God: Why, Lord, did you remain silent? How could you tolerate all this?'"
