the Pope isn't blaming God. He's saying that none of us, on a gut level, can understand why God wouldn't interfere with the Holocaust. He's expressing the question almost any religious person has asked -- which is why, if God is all good and all powerful, such evil can exist. This is such a fundamental problem to religion that it even has a formal name: "The Theological Problem of Evil."
The Catholic answer, if I remember correctly, is that God has given humans free will, and so they are free to do evil things.
