free his people from Pharoah, why than did God sit back and allow 6 million..... yes 6 MILLION Jewish people, not to mention other groups to be brutally persecuted and killed by a monster regime? Were these Jews not descended from the Tribes of Israel?

This question is in know way meant to offend people. I just don't think allowing 9-11 million people in total to be killed is conscionable.
Why get involved in one matter but not another?

Because it's metaphor, not history.

St. Paul said "JESUS CHRIST is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrew 13:8) If I'm not the one who's on the Cross two thousand years and more ago, why would I let these calamities shake my faith? I think the answer lies in the Book of Job: 38:1 who is this that obscures divine plans with words of ignorance ... 38:18 have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? ... which is the way to the dwelling place of light, and where is the abode of darkness, that you may take them to their boundaries and set them on their homeward paths? ...

42:1-6 Then Job answered the LORD and said
I know that you can do all tihngs,
and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.
I have dealt with great things that I do not understand;
things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.
I have heard of you by word of mouth,
but now my eye has SEEN you.
Therefore I DISOWN what I have said, and
REPENT in dust and ashes.

Faith is (Deut. 6:4-5) which leads us to the promise (Revelation 22:1-5)

In that time that fulfill a purpose that maybe you won´t understand for the lack of space here but the promise seed was in dangerous and that is why he helped them, not now , God will resurrect them (all 6 millions) accordingt to Acts 24:15 " and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous"

don´t worry they are not in a hell suffering not according to Eclessasiates 9:4-6.

God was still here during Moses time but left sometime afterward saying if he stayed we'd remain as children, humans are in the process of learning from the hard knocks of life.

It took generations for God to get involved with Jews after they were enslaved.

You want instant (in the way God measures time, of course)?

Because the holocaust isn't fairy tail as the KKK or any denier claims it to be.

Moses might have been a real person, but that magic with splitting a huge body of water in two couldn't have happened.

Everything happens for a reason, What did Shadrack, Meshack and Adedigo say? They trusted God so much that they said, "Even if we die, God is a good and Just God".

Actually, a lot of those Jews were just descendants of Europeans that had converted to Judaism.

Romans 8
36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
