I am a very devout Jew, and while it is true that the Shoah did dishearten many thousands of Jews, the answer is very simple, but many choose to stray from it, which makes it complicated. The Holocaust was NOT part of God's great plan. He did not choose for the Holocaust to happen, even though He knew that it would. Evil is a man-made emotion that we have Adam and Eve to thank for. Hitler was not acting out of some God-given destiny, he did it out of pure hate, which is one of the tennents of free will, which was given to us by God. We have the right to choose between good, which leads to God, and hate, which leads away from God.
