the Rebbe believed that the Holocaust was a Gezerah and therefore it shouldn’t be discussed. The Friediker Rebbe, on the other hand, basically held like Rabbi Miller that the Holocaust was a punishment from Shamayim for the breakdown of European Jewry.

Again, as I mentioned in my previous post, nuance and context is very important.
Your quotes of the Rebbe and Frierdiker Rebbe are anything but that.

Did the Rebbe ever say that the Holocaust “shouldn’t be discussed”?
Did the Frierdiker Rebbe ever say that “the Holocaust was a punishment from Shamayim for the breakdown of European Jewry”?

Please provide the statements that you’re actually referring to, and then we can properly discuss it.
