Hello Suin Kim. You asked us....
> Q. About how many people was killed out of this war?
The following table will give you some idea. The
interesting thing (at least, for me) is that the USA
and England managed to avoid large numbers of deaths
among the civilian population; Poland, especially,
was very badly treated by being torn apart between
Germany and Russia. Many of those 6 million civilian
women and children simply died of starvation after being
driven from their homes by one side or the other.
> Q How long this war lasted and any other countries involved in this war?
Probably easier to list the countries that were NOT
involved in this war.
> Q What was the punishments and tortures of jewish people?
I'm not sure what sort of answer you want for this. I
suggest you go to your local library and get out some
books on the subject.
