It is called the Holocaust.
1940 was before any of the methods of mass murder were created. Many did perish in the ghettos due to starvation and disease, numbers no doubt did reach the thousands.
It depends on what country you are talking about. In Europe, many Jews had already been arrested and put in concentration camps by 1940. Others lived in ghettos or in hiding.
During the holocaust over 6 million Jews died. 6 million others died as well. gypsies, homosexuals, blacks and people harboring Jews were amongst that other 6 million
About 1.1 Million Jews were deported to Auschwitz between the years 1940-1945.
When the Lodz Ghetto was sealed off in May 1940 it had 164,000 Jews. As they died more were brought in ... but the figure fluctuated.

Built by Nazis to carry out the mass extermination of Jews through gas chambers along with other brutal methods; included Chelmno and Auschwitz; many would have crematoriums built to hide the evidence of this mass murder

It was one of many blood-libels in medieval Europe and was an excuse to kill Jews.

This can be argued in many ways; it is easy to now look back and say that all of his anti-Jewish rhetoric was a step for the death of Jews, but the evidence does not support that. One could also argue that he took no steps for the death of Jews, that everything he did was an effort to remove Jews from society, that everything to do with the murder of Jews came from others. The 'truth' no doubt is somewhere in betweeen, but because there was no paper-trail we will never know.
It was not diseases that killed most Jews during the holocaust, it was murder by gunshots, poison, starvation, carbon monoxide, fire, etc. Although many Jews died in death camps from various contagious diseases or untreated illnesses, it was only in advance of their planned murder. In many cases the Jews were intentionally infected by various viruses or bacteria by the Germans operating the death camps. Some unethical or misinformed people have tried to claim (falsely) that most of the Jews that died 'just got sick and died'. That would be a lie. It was murder, not the bird flu.
When it was founded in 1940, 400,000 Jews were herded into the cramped ghetto. About 100,000 died in the ghetto from disease or starvation; many more were shipped off to various concentration and death camps.
If you are referring to religions that others attempted to force on the Jews, they were Christianity, Islam, and many pagan religions.
