He wasn't. He sent the Americans.
And then God provided the State of Israel.
Coincidentally I just started reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel last night.
He described how angry he was with God for being silent.
It is easy to feel this way when you observe mothers and children being fed into the furnace, or witness a young child be hanged in front of the prisoners in order to "set an example"
So while the Americans did eventually show up, the time spent amid the horror and inhumanity must have seemed endless to these people.
I agree with the sentiments of the pope, that God must have had a mysterious plan and only He can understand why it was allowed to happen for so long.
May God bless the poor souls of all those who suffered, and who still do suffer.
And don't forget the British, Allied bombardment of Germany turned large parts of it into hell on earth, unfortunately we bombed out of them the will to fight under any circumstances, so today the "Axis of Weasels", but that's for another thread......
Yeah...but first he sent the Brits, the French, the Canadians, the British, the Indians (under the Brits), the Russians, the Kiwis, etc, etc...the Americans were a numerous quantity but by no means His only or most important agents...
