Were Christians allowed to help the Jews in World War 2?
Nobody was allowed to 'help', except within the framework of Nazi policy. So, as long as Jews were allowed to emigrate (that is, until August 1941), some people were allowed to give practical advice on getting visas and the like. However, they were not allowed to question Nazi policy. For example, Heinrich Grüber, a Protestant pastor, did his utmost to help, but when he tried to visit Jews in a concentration camp in 1940, he himself was arrested and sent to a camp ...
What did the Franks hope for while hiding in the annex?
Like many Jews who were in hiding, the Frank family hoped to avoid being captured by the Nazis, since that would mean certain death. They hoped they would survive the war and that the Nazis would be defeated. Sadly, someone betrayed the family, and told the Nazis where the Franks were being hidden. In August 1944, Anne, her sister, and her mother were shipped to concentration camps, where they died. Otto was also sent to a concentration camp but somehow managed to survive until Russian troops liberated him and other prisoners. But he was the only member of the family who made it out alive.

Were the Jews included in the Aryan race?
Answer 1
If the Aryan race exists, then yes, Jews could be considered Aryan if they met the characteristics. However, Hitler believed the Jews were a race of people, (It doesn't take a genius to know that Judaism is a religion, not a race), Therefore they could not be part of "Hitler's Aryan race".
Answer 2
Hitler made the view that Jews were a distinct race explicit in numerous accounts and metaphors (most notably in Mein Kampf when he compared Jewish-Gentile marriage to a fox and sheep marrying). When Hitler described the Aryan Race he was referring to German ancestry from exclusively Caucasian origins, regardless of the actual genetics and fundamentally excluded Jews from this category.
As concerns the anthropological term "Aryan" separate from the political connotations, "Aryan" refers to the original Caucasians (people of the Caucasus Mountains) and their descendants. This includes much of the European population (with the exception of Hungarians - as they are Asian and several Southeastern European countries since their ethnic origins are partially Anatolian), the population of Iran and of certain areas of South Asia. Jews are typically not considered Aryan as their ancestry is Middle Eastern and not derivative of the Caucasus Tribes. However, in the late Roman Period and early Medieval Period, there were Caucasian Jewish converts, most notably the Khazars. While these converts make up an insignificant portion of the Jewish people, it does allow for some overlap between Caucasians and Jews. Also in much of Europe, Jews appeared ethnically to be European (as opposed to Arab).

How did people end up in the holocaust who did it happen to why?
Those who were jailed in the concentration camps were mostly of Jewish decent, along with gypsys, and anyone who was unusual, or unhealthy were often targets as well.
The reasoning is not at all simple but the concept of the Nazi party and Germany wishing to 'rule the world' was essentially the reasoning for the steps that may have inspired such astrocities.
The Holocaust was the systematic mass murder of Jews and other 'inferiors' during World War II.
Jews were rounded up, transported to camps, and worked to death or killed.
An area of a city in which members of a minority group live?
Sometimes such districts are called ghettos. Originally, in Europe, a ghetto was the area of a city where Jews were required to live by law and it was physically separated from the surrounding area(s).
Did the Germans actually make soap out of their enemies when they killed them?
No, that is a myth. However, experiments in making soap from the body fat of Jews were carried out at Stutthof Concentration Camp, but stopped on orders from Himmler.
For much of World War 2 soap was rationed in Germany, and the standard, government issue soap was stamped with the letters RIF, which stood for Reichsinstitut für Fettversorgung (Reichs Institute for the provision of fats). At the time rumours circulated in Germany to the effect that the letters stood for Rein Jüdisches Fett (means pure Jewish fat). This suggests people had a better idea of what was actually going on than they later admitted.
What was the night called that many Jew were killed and taken away to concentration camps?
It was the night of the Kristallench, when the Germans invaded Jews' homes, smashed all their china and crystal, and forced them to go into the death camps
