Did the Jewish people exist before the Book of Genesis?
Biblical scholars say the Book of Genesis was written in stages by the Hebrew people themselves, over a period of centuries during the first millennium BCE. Two different source documents from the eighth to seventh centuries BCE were brought together by an anonymous source now known as 'JE', then amended and added to by another anonymous source now known as the Deuteronomist ('D' source) during the seventh-century BCE reign of King Josiah of Judah, then added to further by an author now known as the Priestly ('P') source, probably during the Babylonian Exile. The Book was edited and finalised into more or less the version we now have, by the anonymous source now known as the Redactor.
The Hebrew people have certainly existed as a separate ethnic group for all of the first millennium BCE and probably as early as 1250 BCE. Although a biblical tradition of great antiquity grew up, most scholars say that the Hebrew people were actually Canaanites who chose to leave the main population centres along the Mediterranean coast and migrate into the largely unpopulated interior.
At first, they were Hebrews, or Israelites if the lived in the larger northern kingdom of Israel, or Judahites if they were residents of Judah in the south. The term Jews did not really come into use until the Babylonian Exile, from the beginning of the sixth century onwards.
The Jewish people were linear descendants of the Hebrew people who first wrote Genesis. So, yes, they existed before the Book of Genesis.
How were Jews killed at the killing centers?
History records that a total of 5.9 million persons of Jewish heritage were executed or died during WWII as a result of the Nazi's "Final Solution". This figure is still debated in some circles, but is the most commonly accepted one.

How many people aided the Jews during World War 2?
Though no definitive number can be calculated, there were "The Righteous
Few".
It would be impossible to give an exact number, as you could argue that all that fought for the allies aided the Jews (as well as the other people that got on the wrong side of the Nazis and Axis forces).
