I was watching a documentary on the Holocaust, and they had a small segment on Anne Frank. I'm sure most of you know who she was and probably read her diary in school, as I did. I'm also sure most of you know her fate - death in a Concentration Camp about a month and a half before the end of the war.
It troubles me greatly knowing that she, and the 6 million Jewish victims of Hitler, are now in Hades.
I know doctrine. I know that we are all sinners deserving hell. I know the holiness of God demands punishment for the lost. But I can't help thinking about that poor girl, suffering in darkness, a victim of a satanically possessed mass murderer.
She harmed no one. Loved greatly. Just a child. Yet her eternal fate is sealed.
Maybe I'm just in a melancholy mood. Maybe I don't understand as much as I think I do.
Thoughts?

Do I think Holocaust Jews will go to Hell after suffering Hell on earth? No. Salvation is by grace. The Jews are God's chosen people. Come the judgment, I believe God will have mercy because Jesus was God on earth. And you will call him Emmanuel, which means, God with us.
God chose those who would return to him before he created the earth itself.
