What is the value of an authentic WW2 German lugar pistol?
Well, WW 2 was not in 1915, but your Luger pistol may be worth anywhere from $100 to several thousand dollars, depending on the exact model, markings, and condition. There is no way to judge from the information in your question. The best estimate would come from a dealer that knows Luger pistols. If all else fails, see if the are some gun shows in your area- you should find several dealers that can give you an estimate of worth.
How were the Jews affected by the holocaust?
In many different ways. It depends on the country where they lived, on their environment and its ability and willing to help, on their financial situation and other more. So most probably the situation for a poor, strong religious Jewish family living in Poland and Ukraine without any support from (non Jewish) neighbours was just desperately. In most of these cases they were hunted down by Nazi institutions and sent to camps all over Europe, mostly in the eastern part. Other families (mostly) in the west of Europe sometimes managed to flee early enough and/or buy themselves out (especially in the earlier stage before 1941). And also there are a few cases when entire families were saved by neighbours and whole communities. So as far as I know could a lot of the Jewish community from Denmark survive the war due to the support of their country mates. One case in my own family allowed my (German) uncle to survive the war and the occupation as a small boy being hidden by a Dutch family while his entire family was wiped out in Auschwitz. The devastating effect on his/our family is clear. In a conclusion you can clearly say that none of the Jewish families in the occupied parts of Europe was not effected by the Nazis, nevertheless is the range spread from fleeing and losing all your owning, citizenship, home and often enough hope to the death of the entire family. Most of the survivors are strongly effected by traumata and post-stress symptoms and, of course, hate towards those who were responsible or even connected to those responsible (meaning according to their citizenship). It took and will take even more generations for a lot of families to find back to whatever is perceived as normality.

What is the value of a Stevens 22 long rifle patented April 30 1907?
The Junior Model 11 was Stevens' last attempt to market a boy's rifle. It was discontinued in the late 1930s. Value depends on condition -- less than $100 if fair or worse, maybe $300 if excellent and you find the right collector. It would be rare to see one sell for more than $200 in average condition.
What was life like living under nazi rule for jewish children?
Most children did not make it through the holocaust.. Due to the fact that they were so young and unable to work and complete heavy intensive labour. Children from 8 and up were able to complete the labour but if they were to slow or got sick in any way than they would kill them. Not many children made it through the holocaust.. But one man names Eli did. He wrote a book on how horrible and tragic life was living under Nazi rules. The book is truly life changing.

What laws did theNazis violated during world war 2?
Almost all of the Nazis that survived to stand trial at Nuremburg faced one or both of the following charges:
-War Crimes
-Crimes Against Humanity
War crimes, for lack of a better definition, is a catch-all term. But, the worst violations, called Grave Breaches, are the most serious. They include:
-Willfully torturing, killing, or mistreating another human, including experimentation
-Willfully causing another human pain or suffering, including experimentation
-Compelling another human to serve in the armed forces of a hostile power
-Willfully depriving another human of a fair trial
-Taking of hostages
-Unlawful destruction not militarily justified (ie; killing the Jews and burning their shops)
-Unlawful deportation, transfer, or confinement
A crime against humanity, however, is a more serious charge. It usually carries the death penalty, or at the very least, a life sentence. It is defined as:
"Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated."
Why was Kaiser Wilhelm 2 becoming ruler a game changer for Germany?

How many Jews were against the Holocaust?
The exact number of Jews saved in the holocaust is impossible to calculate. It is recorded that in Denmark, 7,220 of its 8,000 Jews were saved by fellow citizens. Thousands in other countries were also saved by friends and neighbors as they were or smuggled into safe countries. Many Jews fled before the worst of the holocaust was upon them, while others pretended to be non-Jewish. The numbers liberated from the infamous death camps by allied forces is also uncertain, but the numbers are in the tens of thousands if not higher.
What was the title given to Heinrich Himmler by the ss?
Heinrich Himmler was the "Reichsführer" (basically "National Leader") of the SS from 1929 to 1945.
The Schutzstaffel ("Protection Staff"), or SS for short, was originally Adolf Hitler's bodyguard staff in the Nazi Party. After Hitler took power in 1933, the SS became the agency in charge of all internal security forces- spy agencies, police, border guards, and so on. As part of this, the SS was in charge of operating the concentration camps and the Einsatzgruppen("Task Forces") death squads, meaning the SS was the primary agency that carried out the Holocaust.
Lastly, the SS also had their own elite army called the Waffen-SS ("Armed-SS"), which fought alongside but separate from the regular German military.
