friend, if God actually existed then he would have saved these Jews and no Holocaust would have occurred, since these Jews are alleged to be His chosen people
you have obviously developed faith in some qualities of love, goodness, renunciation (dropping your burden of 'self' upon God) etc,
these mental qualities, due to their nature, are making your mind happy
Buddha, who was an atheist, explained, with correct wisdom, that real love, real goodness, real caring, real harmlessness, real selflessness, etc, are mental qualities that bring happiness
happiness & well-being have defined causes & conditions
real happiness & well-being are not random events
therefore, imo, it is your faith & mental attitude that has made you well
no evidence for a 'god' there
also, Buddha explained 'self' or 'ego' is the root of suffering
there are certainly levels of happiness but we must take care about the ego because one day, as old age comes & health declines or loss comes, ego needs to be able to cope
sukhino va khemino hontu,
sabbasatta bhavantu sukhitatta
May all beings be happy and safe.
May they be cheerful
