The difference that I see, is that in one case the mother would have angry
or otherwise negative feelings towards Hashem, and in the second case, the
mother would have angry or otherwise negative feelings towards both Hashem
and the Nazi.

But as I understand this conversation, we are discussing theodicy, which is
the question of "How can a good God allow such a thing to happen?" And in
that regard I see no difference between the two cases.
