Reply To: Ahavas Yisrael for those in YU/the MO community (Ask me anything)

Avira, the holocaust is similar to mitzraim, so look at the Klei Yakar at the end of Parashas Vayigash and Parashas Devorim on Penu lochem tzofano. The Mitzriim didn’t directly kill jews because of the hakoras hatov to Yosef. The germans also made them work if they were able to.
