100% emotional reaction of a child under horrible circumstances, and nothing rational or thoughtful about it.
It's common. I pray for them.

Perhaps because he was alive at the end of the Nazi occupation was because God does exist and was protecting him, giving him the will to survive, inspiring others to help him survive. Do you know if he has ever considered that?
And then there is the excellent book “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl
Well, that’s the thing about people. Two people can go through the same traumatic event, and one person winds up saying “there is no God” and the other winds up finding God.
There are people who did find God going through the holocaust. There are soldiers who liberated those camps who found God through those experiences. Same with 9-11.
Funny how God always gets the blame for bad things, but never the credit for good things.
It’s rare to see people thanking God for allowing man to have the knowledge and ability to, say, cure smallpox or figure out how to chlorinate water so that people don’t die from typhus by the thousands. But, when man does something bad, like the Holocaust, suddenly it’s all completely, 100% God’s fault, with no real culpability on the part of man himself.
