How many Jews did the Catholic Church hand over to the Nazis?
None! The Catholic Church did more than any organization or country to shelter and protect Jews. Churches, convents and monasteries, including the Vatican itself, hid Jews from the Nazis and helped many of them escape to safe countries. It is even said the Pope Pius XII would disguise himself as a simple Franciscan friar and sneak out of the Vatican at night and smuggle Jews out of Rome and into the safety of the Vatican. Thousands and thousands of lives were saved. The rumors of the Catholic Church cooperating with the Nazis was part of a disinformation campaign conducted by the Soviet Union to discredit the Church and drive a wedge between the Church and the Jews as well as with the rest of the world. Once the Nazis were defeated, the Soviets feared the Catholic Church more than any other group. All this information was revealed by former KGB agents when the Soviet Union dissolved in the 1980s.
What does it mean to be cut off from the Christian church?
The word is 'excommunicated'. If a person says or does things publicly that are against the teachings of the church they can be excommunicated. It means being cut off from membership with the church. In practical terms these days, this only amounts to a cutting off from the church where one was a member. Many churches do not practice this anyway, but when it is done it often simply results in the person going to another church which doesn't discipline its members. This of course defeats the purpose, which is to lead the person to repentance.

All Catholic property from parish churches to monasteries was seized by the King. The Catholic Church established a seminary in Louvain, Belgium to train native born Englishmen to the priesthood. After their ordination they returned to England to offer the sacraments to the beleaguered faithful. Henry VIII was excommunicated by the Holy Father.

Who excommunicated the orthadox church?
Before protestants there were was one major christian church. It was just called The Church. Within that church there were 7 different branches (the biggest being Rome) that believed the same just different traditions and language. At the head of each of these branches was a group of bishops. Once or twice a year all the bishops of the different branches discussed religious matters about the church. But Rome was basically the highest of the 7. As time went on the Roman bishops wanted only one leader to lead the whole group that could communicate to God for them. The church closest to Rome was Constantinople. So Constantinople was the first to hear about there change. Constantinople excommunicated the Roman Church and the Roman church excommunicated Constantinople. So then there was just 5 churches. When the remaining 5 churches got word of what went on they brought back in the Constantinople church and they became the Orthodox church. And the Roman church turned into the Catholic church. So basically neither of us were really excommunicated but most people call this the first schism. and the second schism being the protestant. but looking at this subject there are many differant opinions
