With the Allied powers defeating the Axis powers in WWII.
There are a number of websites that present information to that effect based on a literalist view of the Qur'an and three of those sites have been linked to below. However, many Muslims will note that these views are taken by individuals who do not see the revealed verse in its proper context and interpretation.
One of the major problems with interpreting Qur'anic verses, as opposed to interpreting Biblical verses, is that the Biblical verses are often in the context of the story. For example, read Numbers 20:11-12 below. Without the remaining verses for story-context, which discusses how Moses has a quarrel with the Israelites over how to get water and that Moses disobeyed God by smacking the rock for water, it would seem that smacking rocks to bring forth water was a sinful activity (as opposed to defying God). Since the story-context for most of the Qur'anic revelations is not in the Qur'an but in the Biography of the Prophet, reading the Qur'an alone can lead to very incorrect understandings of how the verses are to be applied.
Numbers 20:11-12: (NIV) 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. 12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
How to write family's or families in the sentence We hope both of your families will join us?
Since you use the word both, then you are writing about more than one family, therefore you would use the plural noun - families.
If you had been referring to something only one family possessed, such as "that family's house" or "my family's dog," then you would have used the singular possessive noun - family's.
So, you should write your invitation thusly: "We hope that both of your families will join us."

How successful was Hitler in persecuting the Jews?
Hitler was quite successful in persecuting the Jews. Between 1933-1945, Adolf Hitler managed to decrease the European Jewish population from about 9.5 Million to about 3.2 Million as majority of them were killed during the Holocaust.
Also, before the Nazis seized power in 1933, Europe had a richly diverse set of Jewish cultures, many of which were dynamic and highly developed, that drew from hundreds and, in some areas, a thousand or more years of Jewish life on the continent. However, as soon Hitler come to power in 1933 and progressed in power in 1934, Hitler shattered the Jewish community in Germany and this also had an a affect onto other Jewish communities in central and western Europe.

What was the Waraw Ghetto Uprising?

What are some things that could have been done to prevent World War 2?
The allies in WW1 were too stupid. The main cause of WW2 is the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was furious about it and wanted to get revenge. The allies could have and should have been more merciful to Germany. Germany wasn't the cause of WW1, all the countries involved should share the blame. If Germany were treated more fairly, maybe WW2 could have been prevented. Or the allies could have completely wiped Germany off the map(which I don't justify) and never give it chance to recover and fight back. I agree, the Treaty of Versailles should have granted fairer terms to Germany. Nevertheless, by the mid-30s Germany had already abrogated the treaty and was economically prospering. Once that juncture had been reached, the only thing the Allies could have done was to remain resolute in the face of ever increasing German demands, the French should have responded when the Germans entered the Rhineland and when Poland was invaded, the French, English and Belgians should have attacked Germany.

How many Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz?
437,685 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz. Al of the Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz between May 1944 - July 1944.
________________
In an effort to make it a bit clearer:
The Hungarian action took place over three months, as this action was late into the war Eichmann was very efficient at extracting Jews from the general population (they were not put into ghettos in Hungary).
The exact number varies because the borders/boundaries varied over the war and some data is from the original boundaries and others from later boudaries.
It is safest to say abour 450 000 were deported, some went straight to labour/concentration camps, but most went to Auschwitz and most of these were killied within a day of arriving.
What is the German for ghetto?
Das Armenviertel or das Ghetto. (The Nazis generally referred to the ghettos that they set up in Poland as Judenviertel - Jewish quarter (or district). However, in official Nazi jargon these ghettos were called jüdische Wohnviertel. The historical term is die Judengasse, as in die Frankfurter Judengasse.
What happened to dogs during the Holocaust?
I've heard this from a Holocaust survivor's son that usually, if entering and breaking in houses, the Nazis shot the dogs first. Mostly dogs who were considered the "guard dogs." Other dogs who had their owners taken away from them became strays I think like cattle did in the Salem Witch Trials when their accused owners were being imprisoned.
What is the upstairs room by johanna Reiss about?
The Upstairs Room, by Johanna Reiss, is a book set in Holland during
World War II, telling a story from the very beginning of the war to the end. It all starts out when Annie and her Jewish family are restricted and abused by German soldiers that have taken over their town. Soon Annie and her sister, Sini, are taken into hide from the Germans by the Hannicks. Within weeks they are living with the Oostervelds, a sweet, gentile family of three. Living with Opoe, Johan, and Dientje, Annie and Sini live in a cold, drab, upstairs room for nearly three years. When German soldiers come and create a German headquarter out of the Oosterveld's living room, they must be more quiet and careful than ever before. One day, the Germans flee from sight and are chased by Canadians back to Germany, and Annie and Sini must start a new life without the real family they lost two years ago.
this is what the story is really about :D
