Every Jew was expected to make sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem. Those who could afford to do so would purchase a lamb for sacrifice. The very poor would by a pair of sparrows for sacrifice. During Roman times, the currency used in Judea was subject to inflation, but haggling over price was not acceptable in the Temple environment, so the more stable Syrian currency was substituted. The role of the moneychangers was to provide the Syrian currency needed to buy the sacrificial offering.
Sacrifices were made at the birth of a son and at the Passover, as well as to give thanks when a prayer was answered.
No. Jews ceased to perform animal sacrifices after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE. Pagans were forced to cease animal sacrifices in the year 391, when the Christian emperor, Theodosius, banned the public worship of pagan gods.

Not many nowadays. At the time of WW2, estimates have guessed as many as six million Jews.
All of them
Chistians persecuted many of them.
There were many German-Jews who at the time of the WWII, but there wasn't really a "Good" leader who was all that great to the Jews. The Jews were basically cut to nothing by all the Germans.
For Jews, all Jews had to wear armbands on their clothes. Jews could not ride bikes or drive cars. Jews were not allowed in certain stores. Many people called Jews, "Dirty Jews". Jews did not have many rights at all. If they disobeyed the rules, almost all of the time you will have a death penalty if you were at a concentration camp.
