R' YL:
If anything, in R. Hirsch's view, the choice of following a Torah-only
agenda, as per the decision of the Eastern European rabbanim, was a hora'as
sha'a, for it was an unnatural scheme called for because of the
impossibility of life in the ghetto. Although justified by harsh reality, it
could not be seen as the optimal way for the Jew to live, for it denied him
the opportunity to use his life to serve as a kiddush Hashem.

I fail to see why following a Torah-only agenda precludes one from the
opportunity to use his life to serve as a Kiddush Hashem.
