Assuming the question involves Jews trapped or about to be trapped in territories taken over by the Nazi's, some Jews found a way to escape Europe before it was too late to do so. Other Jewish people were able to hide themselves and their families in Europe until WW2 was over. Many Jews saw the "writing on the wall" before the Nazi's implemented full scale operations to trap them. Albert Einstein as example escaped to the USA before Hitler began his systematic & hideous actions against not only German Jews, but Jews in Poland and other European counties he conquered.

Of those who were unable to escape, either because they could not believe that any modern government or world would allow someone to murder so many people or simply because they did not have the money, there were a few places to hide, but with most people neither being able to flee, nor hide, they had to try to survive within the system. There was no guarantee for this as many of the killing were arbitrary, so most survivors put survival down to luck.

Why was Italy the only country that helped the Jewish people during World War 2?

Italy didn't help the Jewish in WW2. They were a fascist country, Mussolini had a pact with Hitler, and the Pope ( who could have helped) ignored the problems Italian Jewish citizens faced. Historically, Italy has always been a country that segregated it's Jewish citizens. The bell tower in Venice was built to tell the Jewish residents of the city that it was curfew and they should be behind the ghetto gates. Danish citizens overtly tried to stop the deportation of Danish Jews, so I would say Denmark is one of the main countries of Europe who really did try to defy Hitler.


How was the star of david used during the war?

During World War II, the Star of David was used as a symbol of Jewish identity, particularly by the Nazis, who mandated that Jews wear a yellow Star of David badge to signify their ethnicity and differentiate them from non-Jewish citizens. This identification facilitated the persecution and deportation of Jews to concentration camps. The emblem became a poignant symbol of the suffering endured during the Holocaust and has since come to represent Jewish resilience and identity.
