▁of ▁any ▁rational ▁Aus ch witz ▁the od icy ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁found . ▁ ▁In ▁our ▁own ▁times , ▁the ▁destruction ▁of ▁six ▁million ▁Jews ▁that ▁took ▁place ▁with ▁such ▁great ▁and ▁terrible ▁cruel ty — a ▁trem end ous ▁des olation ▁the ▁lik es ▁of ▁which ▁never ▁was ▁( and ▁never ▁will ▁be , ▁may ▁the ▁Mer c iful ▁One ▁save ▁us !) ▁throughout ▁all ▁gener ations — c annot ▁be ▁considered ▁a ▁matter ▁of ▁pun ishment ▁for ▁trans gress ions , ▁for ▁even ▁the ▁Sat an ▁himself ▁could ▁not ▁configure ▁a ▁calculus ▁of ▁trans gress ions ▁for ▁that ▁generation ▁which ▁could ▁justify — He aven ▁forb id ! — a ▁pun ishment ▁so ▁severe . ▁There ▁is ▁no ▁rational ▁explanation ▁and ▁no ▁el uc id ation ▁based ▁on ▁Tor ah ▁wisdom ▁what so ever ▁for ▁the ▁Dev ast ation , ▁nothing ▁but ▁the ▁knowledge ▁that ▁" th us ▁it ▁ar ises ▁in ▁My ▁[ G od ' s ] ▁Mind !" ▁and ▁" It ▁is ▁a ▁dec ree ▁before ▁Me ." ▁And ▁even ▁then , ▁it ▁is ▁certainly ▁not ▁in ▁the ▁sense ▁of ▁a ▁divine ▁desire ▁or ▁inn erm ost ▁will ▁of ▁God — He aven ▁forb id ! — for , ▁as ▁it ▁says ▁in ▁Tor ah , ▁" When ▁man ▁suff ers , ▁what ▁does ▁the ▁She k hin ah ▁[ the ▁Div ine ▁Pres ence ] ▁say ? ▁' My ▁head ▁is ▁too ▁heavy ▁for ▁me , ▁etc .'
