Hi Steven,

> question 1: What started the war?
Hitler's invasion of Poland in Sep.1939 caused the British and French
to declare war on Germany. They had a treaty with Poland to defend it.
> question 2: What are the most brutal and violent stories you've heard
>or witnessed about the war?
Just watch any war movie and you will get the idea.
> question 3: What are the Jewish and Nazis roles in the war?
They were the roles of victims and oppressors respectively.
> question 4: Why are people being prejudice to the Jewish?
Ask the people who are prejudiced. Not everyone is, you know.
The word "prejudice" is related to "prejudging", not a very smart way of
thinking.
> question 5: Who were the victims in the war and why?
All the dead and injured, as well as those that lost their loved ones or
their possessions during the war. Why were they victims? Perhaps you can
answer this question yourself.
> Well, that's all for now. Thanks for all your help!!!
I am not sure my answers helped you. You probably knew or should have
known the answers to all your questions already (except maybe the first
one).
Regards from a cold Canada. I envy you for your nice climate in Honolulu.
