I'm not exactly sure but I think he's kind of like a good friend. He's always there watching me.

I believe that G-d does exist, however I am not a believer of the fact that G-d controls everything that happens and that nothing happens without G-d's control. As for my current relationship with G-d, I do regularly pray, only about things that I believe are important events/decisions in my life. I also believe that G-d is listening when it really matters and uses his/her judgement to decide when I really do need assistance in something or when it is best if I deal with something on my own, and without help.

Yes, we believe that there was a G-d during the Holocaust.
The people and events of the holocaust that aided the Jews were superhuman in their courage and determination to help the victims. This sort of super-courage and passion could only have been reached by a G-d instilled being.
Such examples of these supernatural beings (bravery wise) are as follows:
Tuvia Bielski— In the movie Defiance, the patience and determination of Tuvia to teach the refugees how to survive in the wilderness could not have been achieved by himself. If we put ourselves in this scenario we would find it impossible to have the same cold-blooded passion that Tuvia possesses. Simply imagine yourself not only caring for yourself in these desperate times, but also leading a band of survivors through already tough conditions to overcome a near undefeatable foe. In addition to the courage of Tuvia, the skill and leadership ability's must be considered godly. In this scenario, we may not see specific godly happenings from the all mighty power himself, however, we certainly do see that G-d is living and acting through Tuvia. This follows the story of the "7 godly beings born each year".
Raoul Wallenberg— Wallenberg saved approximately 80,000 Jews from an imminent death. As we see in the movie that we just watched, each of his missions rescued only a handful of jews at a time. If we calculate how many missions it would have taken to reach that 80,000 mark, the number comes to around 4,000. For such an ordinary and "mediocre" man to be able to succeed with just his words 4,000 consecutive times is unreal to think about. Unless there was a supernatural presence present in his work. That supernatural presence was G-d.

No we do not believe that G-d was present during the Holocaust.
If you believed that G-d was present, how did such cruel things happen during the Holocaust?
For example, in a concentration camps held debates and concluded that G-d was guilty. The following is a conversation that took place in a concentration camp,`I intend to convict God of murder, for he is destroying his people and the law he gave them from Mount Sinai. I have irrefutable proof in my hands. Judge without fear or sorrow or prejudice. Whatever you have to lose has long since been taken away.'' The trial proceeded in due legal form, with witnesses for both sides with pleas and deliberations. The unanimous verdict: ``Guilty.''...
11 million people were tortured and murdered under G-d's watch. But was G-d really watching?
Another example occurred during Anne Frank's life. G-d was with her and protected her until she was taken away by the Nazis.
When Jews were placed into camps, they were starving, tortured, and killed. During and After the Holocaust, Jews had nothing to hope for as there family and friends had been murdered.
As you can see, we believe that there was no G-d during the Holocaust. "some have grown to learn that God never did things the way people expect Him to.." quoted by Elie Wiesel. Is at if to say, that no one expected this to happen to them.
