If the holocaust was God getting rid of people he didn't like, why would devout believers be sent there?

God wasn't getting rid of people that he didn't like ... he was setting them
up to be better off with their own country back.
A country that has been argued over for centuries. Remember the crusades?
I think there were five crusades wih the Christians winning the first one and perhaps partially another one.
They lost the rest and the country eventually winds up in the hands of the Palestians
(who are in reality the dreaded Philistines)
(Israel's arch enemy of the old testament).
For prophecy to come true Israel had to regain their statehood and lay a claim to it.
I say God planned it all and worked his plan ... that it was no accident that all of those Jews died at the hands of the German regime.
Hitler was used just like many other Kings and enemies of Israel were used over the centuries to bring Israel in line with God's will.
I can't find the scripture, but this one from Isaiah 65 will have to do.
No this is the one it's just that I have the New Century bible in hand right now.
The other one I am looking for says that they (meaning Israel) will have no former memory of who they were.
This is God speaking through the prophet Isaiah
Quote:
17 “Look, I will make new heavens and a new earth,
and people will not remember the past
or think about those things.
18 My people will be happy forever
because of the things I will make.
I will make a Jerusalem that is full of joy,
and I will make her people a delight.
19 Then I will rejoice over Jerusalem
and be delighted with my people.
There will never again be heard in that city
the sounds of crying and sadness.
20 There will never be a baby from that city
who lives only a few days.
And there will never be an older person
who doesn’t have a long life.
A person who lives a hundred years will be called young, and a person who dies before he is a hundred will be thought of as a sinner.
