How were the Jews involved in World War 2?
Yes, they were presecuted, and YES they fought back.
"In the latter stages of World War 2, the British government authorized the recruitment of a Jewish Brigade, to be staffed primarily with Palestinian Jews, many of whom had fled Europe a step ahead of the Nazis. The Jewish Brigade Group fought courageously and effectively in Italy in 1944 - 1945. Many brigade members, outraged by Nazi persecution of the Jews, took part in brutal reprisals against captured Germans.

Adolf Hitler built Aryan pride in Germany by ethnic cleansing.
He let German's hatred for the Jews make them (German people) feel like a superior race in comparison, and getting rid of them (the Jews), would preserve the Aryan blood line.
By the end of WW I I over 6 million Jews were systematically and horrendously slaughtered

You mean how were they involved?
I don't know how you wouldn't really know this. I mean, it is a pretty big topic in history. I mean, it should be taught to pretty much everyone, unless of course wherever you live thinks that it was a fake thing.
Anyways, they have to do with the Holocaust. Read up.
And then watch "Schindler's List". A really, really good movie about a German man who tried to save as many Jewish people as he could.

They were the victims of Hitlers brutal regime. He murdered them in gas chambers, he forced them into hellish concentration camps prior to their murder. Millions were murdered and will never be forgotten.

I assume they were responsible for it, just like all the other wars. They probably killed over 6 million of themselves just to shift the blame to those poor innocent Germans.
