At the same time that he questioned how God could "let this happen"? I wonder whether that rainbow was as much a middle finger today, as any gentle reminder of the Covenant.
I take the question as weak faith, a classic blasphemy. He shouldn't have asked it.

I watched the ceremony live on EWTN. The Pope met and spoke to each person in a long line of Auschwitz survivors. It was very touching because he spoke to each without a translator. I assumed that he was speaking Polish or German to each of the survivors.
Pope Benedict XVI is a very gentle man in the spirit of
John Paul II. He is a very Holy Man.

Despite its misuse by new agers and homosexuals, the qeshet be`anan (rainbow) is the sign of G-d's covenant with mankind made after Noah's Flood, under which we still live. Orthodox Jews recite a special blessing on seeing a rainbow for this very reason (this means that it actually happened, since to formally bless G-d for doing something He didn't really do would be a grave sin).

A rainbow is seen in the sky as the Pope Benedict XVI pays his respect to the victimsImagine the odds.
