How many Jews did the first commander estimate to have killed at Auschwitz?
The 1st Camp Commander of Auschwitz was Rudolf Hoss
Here's a quote from his statements about the death tolol at Auschwitz
"I commanded Auschwitz until 1 December 1943, and estimate that at least 2,500,000 victims were executed and exterminated there by gassing and burning, and at least another half million succumbed to starvation and disease, making a total dead of about 3,000,000. This figure represents about 70% or 80% of all persons sent to Auschwitz as prisoners, the remainder having been selected and used for slave labor in the concentration camp industries. Included among the executed and burnt were approximately 20,000 Russian prisoners of war (previously screened out of Prisoner of War cages by the Gestapo) who were delivered at Auschwitz in Wehrmacht transports operated by regular Wehrmacht officers and men. The remainder of the total number of victims included about 100,000 German Jews, and great numbers of citizens (mostly Jewish) from Holland, France, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, or other countries. We executed about 400,000 Hungarian Jews alone at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944"

I can honestly say that guilt is one of the worst emotions a human can carry. Time can usually make your guilt fade away. Find someone trusting to talk to about your feelings. When I lie I feel guilty and I find someone i trust and talk it out. It ALWAYS makes me feel better. Always. <3

There was no group such as 'The Jews'. The Nazis tried to suggest that there was a global Jewish conspiracy, but there was no system i which Jews from different places were bound together.
So 'The Jews' did not ever plan to assassinate Hitler.
Why were the Jews so effective in disrupting the Nazi activities?
presumably you mean ineffective.
Because there was no 'Jewish conspiracy' and they did not act as one unit.

DECLARATION
I, ............................................................... born on ..................................................
in ................................................................ herewith make the following declaration:
1. I have come to know that the International Bible Students Association is proclaiming erroneous teachings and under the cloak of religion follows hostile purposes against the Nazi State.
2. I have therefore left the organization entirely and made myself absolutely free from the teachings of this sect.
3. I herewith give assurance that I will never again take any part in the activity of the International Bible Students Association. Any persons approaching me with the teaching of the Bible Students, or who in any manner reveal their connections with them, I will denounce immediately. All literature from the Bible Students that should be sent to my address I will at once deliver to the nearest Nazi police station.
4. I will in the future esteem the laws of the Nazi State, especially in the event of war will I, with any weapon in hand, defend the Fatherland, and join in every way the furtherance of the Nazi ideals.
5. I have been informed that I will at once be taken again into custody if I should act against this declaration given today.

Basically, the Nazi's were saying 'If you renounce Jehovah as your God and Jesus Christ as your leader, and acknowledge Hitler as the now reigning Messiah on earth, then we will release you from this camp and immediately put you at the front lines with weapons to kill those whom we tell you to kill.' This was a failed ploy to shake the integrity of faithful Witnesses during that dark time.

How many Jewish ghettos were in Poland?
In total, there were over 540 Jewish ghettos in the entire Nazi empire, which sent the majority of the Jews to their deaths. Over 2 million Polish Jews died in the death camps, which operated in conjunction with certain ghettos. Most ghettos were 'closed' (sealed off with high walls and barbed wire) as in the case of Lodz, Czestochowa, Warsaw, Krakow while others remained 'open' as in Sosnowiec, until the actual deportation of Jews occurred.
Did Hitler force Jews to become Christians?
No. Nazi hatred of the Jews was based on race and not religion. Additionally, the Nazis would find anyone who was even 1/4 Jewish by blood and persecute them, even if they were devout Catholics or Protestants.
______________
The Nazis saw the Jews as a race, not a religion. The Holocaust wasn't a matter of religion.
