The Jews were not given rations in World War 2 in the Axis countries. They were rounded up and taken to the concentration camps. They got whatever measly food and liquid they were given. In the Ally countries they received the same rations as everyone else did.

Eventually, food rationing stopped at midnight on the 4th July 1954, when restrictions on the sale and purchase of meat and bacon were lifted. This happened nine years after the end of the war.

War time rationing in the United States officially ended after World War II, with most restrictions lifted by 1946. In the UK, rationing continued until 1954, as the country faced post-war recovery challenges. The specific end dates varied by country and the type of goods being rationed. Overall, the transition to normalcy occurred gradually in the years following the war.
