When did nazis begin to deport jews to extermination camps?
The deportations to forced-labor camps began as soon as the war got underway in September 1939.
The mass killings which didn't involve extermination camps also started at that time, and picked up pace during the German invasion into the Soviet Union which began in June 1941.
The extermination camps were not formally set underway until the Wannsee Conference of January 1942.
_____
The first extermination camp was Chelmno, which began routine gassings on 8 December 1941. So December 1941 looks like the most accurate date.

Was Hitler's final solution to provide human sacrifices to his father Dahak?
There are some scholars who have written that Hitler was involved in the black arts and have made suggestions that most senior Nazis were too (with the exception of martin bormann).
Rudolf Hess, on his capture in Britain - was said to have been interrogated by a senior naval intelligence officer, Alistair Crowley.
The human sacrifice question has been posed before, but it was in relation to hitlers visitations from Horrus- the hawk headed Eygptian deity.
I would recommend seeking out "Hitler- black magician" by Gerald suster.

Hitler's final solution was his attempt to kill all the Jews in Europe and the Holocaust is what the genocide of the Jews during this time is called.

The Holocaust is what we call it looking backwards to that time.

Who won the war between the Nazis and the Jews?
There's a common misunderstanding here. The holocaust (the urder of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazis) took place during World War 2. I assume that what you have in mind is World War 2 (1939-1945). This war was won by the Allies - Britain, China, the Soviet Union and the U.S. as well as the countries of the British Commonwealth (including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa).
Where did josef mengele go to hide after World War 2?

What was the public reaction to the Holocaust at the height of it?
1. In Germany at the time the predominant attitude seems to have been that most people didn't want to know: 'hear no evil, see no evil' seems to have been a very widespread attitude among many of those who were not involved. 2. In Britain and the U.S. news of the Holocaust was at first met with skepticism, but then became widely known. However, it wasn't emphasized but at the time (or in the aftermath of World War 2); it was regarded as one of the most serious crimes committed by the Nazis - roughly on a par with launching a war of aggression.

What were the objectives of the Nuremberg war trials?
To try the surviving leading Nazis for war crimes, crimes against peace and against humanity.
In addition, there was a series of follow-up trials at Nuremberg relating to more specialized matters, such as the Doctors' Trial which was concerned, among other things, with the T4 euthanasia program.
The only alternative seriously considered by the Allies was simply to declare the accused guilty and kill them without trial.

Why did world leaders ignore hitlers genoide against the Jews during the war?
they did not ignore it, they just did not see it as a priority. The thinking was that they should focus on a military defeat of Hitler, with that they could stop any attempted genocide. A course of action that,since then, is generally accepted as the most appropriate course.

The Rwandan genocide was not really a war, since the aim of this genocide and any genocide is to exterminate a certain group of people. In the Rwandan genocide the aim was to kill all the Tutsis. Fortunately not all the Tutsis were killed in this genocide, but hundreds of thousands were and Rwanda still has to bear the scar of what happened during that horrible time to this day, so nobody won the genocide, everybody just lost.
What kind of torture did they do in the concentration camps during the Holocaust?
They did horrible things. I can't believe a human being could be so cruel. They did things like sewing different body parts onto other people, operations without anesthetic, and taking out internal organs such as liver and intestines. Firing squads were used to gun down many people at a time and then dumped the people into heaps. Some were told they were being taken to a shower and it was actually a gas chamber. The soap in these 'showers' were made out of Jewish bodies. (fat). Many starved to death and some were used as guinea pigs for medical testing, especially twins. For their meals (if they were lucky) they would get 1 cup of dirty water a day with a slice of bread. Methods of execution included more than gassing and shooting; Jews were killed in a variety of ways. The camp guards "became notorious for their cruelty, trying to outdo each other in devising fiendish methods of killing their victims". One man froze to death because he was forced to stay in an ice hole until he died. Another victim was hung upside down, completely naked, for three hours until he was killed by the camp guards who used "sticks to force sand down his throat". Source:

Pg 396 & 351 Many Jews were forced to stand in the blazing sun for hours on end, no sitting, water or rest. Strong men were taken away for work om farms. Pretty girls were forced to become unspeakable things. [Edit - generally, unpaid prostitutes for the guards.]

I am afraid human beings can be that cruel, and the Nazis were by no means the first or last in that regard. Stalin's regime in Russian, Chairman Mao's in China, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and so-called ISIS now, all plumb the same depths of inhumanity. What sets the Nazis apart perhaps, is not the appalling death toll of about 6 000 000 (Stalin killed even more) but the carefully-planned industrial approach and scale of their methods, with the gas chambers becoming their preferred extermination technique, rather than shootings.
When did the Germans start shipping Jews to Poland?
