Why did England ignore Hitler's killing of Jews?
None of the Allies was particulary interested in the Nazi genocide of the Jews, at least until 1944. The U.S. and Soviet governments took the same line; it wasn't something specifically British.
One reason sometimes suggested is that the Allied governments saw 'doing something about it' as a distraction from the war effort.
In late 1942/early 1943 there was in fact some public discussion in the press in Britain about the holocaust and what might be done about it. However, attention turned (or was deflected) elsewhere.

What torture did the men go through during the Holocaust?
Gas Chambers -
These gas chambers were used to torture then kill the Jews. The Jews were put into small chambers in groups and gas was released in these chambers. This gas was very hazardous and it killed everyone in the chamber. This was one of Hitler's main techniques to kill Jews. It was a slow death, which is way most countries have banned the use of these chambers.

Lethal injection that was used during the Holocaust in the same way as America version; for execution; they inject poison into the bloodstream by needle. Most needles were not sterol so if somehow you did not die by the poison that was injected you would die of infectious diseases.
Hangings-
The Nazi's hung Jews for committing crimes. They sometimes picked Jews that had not committed any crimes, more innocent Jews were hung then Jews that had actually committed crimes. They would take a thick rope about a yard long, tie it to the top of a wooden platform, and slide your head into the hole of the rope(made by tying the end of the rope to the rope, to make a circular shape to fit around your neck and it was tightened). You would then be thrown off the wooden platform. They would cut the rope and move on to the next Jew.
Rape-
Some Jewish women were raped by the Nazi guards within the concentration camps and also outside of the camps. This was one of the worst tortures they used, because the women were taken from their families(who were usually slaughtered) and made a sexual slave to whom ever took you.
Treatment-
Some Jews died from the conditions on the way and in the concentration camps such as hunger, thirst, and being stomped when in the crowd being taken from their homes to the concentration camps. Many Jews died from lack of food, the only food that was in the concentration camps was for the Nazi's and the Jews got the left overs, if there were any. The only drinking water was out of puddles, and the water was not purified, some died of infectious disease in the dirty water.
Executions-
The Nazi's were notorious for shootings. If you were in a concentration camp or working in a labor field, you had the risk of being shot by a Nazi. Most would say being shot was the best way to die in the concentration camps, it was quick and you didn't have to suffer. They would shoot you and add your body to the body ditch, which normally had hundreds of dead bodies.
Physical Labor-
A lot of Jews were forced into physical labor. They would have to build railroads and trenches, work quarries, etc. Many Jews worked for German companies in or around the camps. Other people who had skills worked at their trades - seamstresses, goldsmiths, carpenters, shoemakers. They worked on the clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc. left behind by the murdered people.
Beatings-
A lot of Jews were beaten by the Nazi's with bull whips or strips of leather. It was excruciatingly painful, and it didn't kill you. You were normally beaten on many occasions. They would beat any part of your body, it didn't matter to them. If you were beaten it usually left bruises, scars, or blisters.
Experiments-
Some Jews were used for Nazi Medical Experiments. This could be painful or kill you. They could change the way your body performed, make your mind hallucinate, etc.

How did the Jews get to the gas chambers?
They would tell the Jews they were going to take a shower, however they did have an idea what was happening. they just sorta got crazy thinking that is was just a shower too.

They would throw the Jews into the trucks and take them to refuge camps where they would practicly starve them. Then they would take them to the gas chambers and the gas chambers would fill up with gas so that the people couldn't breath then tey would die. Next they would take all there clothes off and stack the people on top of each other. Grosss. I know.

Why is hitler known today for killing so many jews?
Because he was an evil man who wanted to wipe Jews off the surface of the Earth. He was a German man, and Germans are the ones who started both World Wars, in effort to conquer the world. Jews are known to survive the impossible and hurtful, with the help of our one and only G-d. We give Him all our thanks.
I completely agree with the answers above, but, to be honest, there was more than just one reason why he did what he did! One reason was that Hitler's mother had breast cancer and a Jewish doctor or nurse was taking care of her, but she ended up dieing anyways, so he blamed all Jews and decided to end the Jewish population. I wish I remembered the other reason I was taught a few weeks ago because you'd have more information.

To cap it all, in many countries, the reply would probably be something like, 'Holocaust? What's that?'
