      <p>Here is a quote from the article the Rav mentioned where the Rav claimed that Rav Hutner blamed the holocaust on the Zionists:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; background-color: #f6f6f6;"><strong>"It should be needless to say at this point that since the churban of European Jewry was a tochacha phenomenon, an enactment of the admonishment and rebuke which Klal Yisroel carries upon its shoulders as an integral part of being the Am Hanivchar - G-d's chosen ones - we have no right to interpret these events as any kind of specific punishment for specific sins. The tochacha is a built-in aspect of the character of Klal Yisroel until Moshiach comes and is visited upon Klal Yisroel at the Creator's will and for reasons known and comprehensible only to Him."</strong></em></p>
