An old Jew eventually dies of old age and goes to heaven. He meets God and tells him a holocaust joke. And God says “That’s not funny”. And he says: “I guess you had to be there.”
(I like how philosophical the joke is, heard it from Ricky Gervais.)

Sometimes, jokes are only funny if you experienced the original context they are derived from, I.e. “You had to be there”.
In this case, the Jew is stating that God (who is typically omnipresent) was explicitly not present during the Holocaust.
