I am forwarding it to the REVS net because someone on this network may be able to help Professor Okamoto find some references and/or other information. Theologians did write considerably about the destruction of Jews in Europe by the Nazis. Perhaps someone can supply more specific references.

If so, I have a following query which some members of REVS may be able to address. Thank you. How do Christian researchers and/or theologians respond to the following question? "Where was the Omnipotent God when people were dying at such places of occasions as Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Japanese Massacre of Nanjing Civilians?"
