Jewish people were more religious people, they considered themselves as the children of Abrahamand gods on chosen people. The gentiles were not holy .Correction:Jews do not believe that Gentiles are not holy. This is an error. Orthodox Judaism states that Gentiles have a huge advantage over Jews because they only have 7 laws to achieve holiness, whereas Jews have 613.Otherwise, Judaism makes no comments whatsoever on other religious beliefs.
The modern definition of a "Gentile" is basically a non-Jewish person.
they had to wear a band on their arms identifying them as Jews, they were restricted to certain areas, they were not allowed to trade with gentiles.
1.3 million Actually that's how many people estimated killed. There is not really a number for Jews, at least none that I found, but if you add everything up it's about 2.8 million people.
In ancient times, there was no special terminology for non-jewish people. In modern times, they could be called Gentiles or simply non-jews. In Hebrew, the term goy was used since the Middle Ages. It was a non-offensive term that referred to (other) nations. In Modern English, the term "goy" was borrowed from Hebrew, but in English it has a slightly negative connotation.

The word gentiles was used to denote all non-Jewish people.
Gentiles refer to non-Jewish people in Jewish scriptures and traditions. The significance lies in the historical context of the interactions between Jewish and non-Jewish communities, highlighting themes of inclusivity, diversity, and unity among different groups. Understanding the treatment of gentiles in religious texts can provide insight into the principles of tolerance, respect, and cooperation across diverse cultures and faiths.

The word 'Gentile' comes from the Hebrew for 'foreigner'. So, from a Jewish point of view, there were only Jews and Gentiles.

To the gentiles = any non Jewish people Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, .....................
Most could not and did not hide, those that did; did so with the help of gentiles.
Non-Jews are sometimes also called gentiles or goy (plural = goyim).
Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians. Normally, in the New Testament at least, the contrast is made between Jews (God's chosen people) and Gentiles (Non-Jews). Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
Other way round. Lots of Jews tried to pretend they were gentiles, to avoid persecution.
Some Gentiles risked their lives by going into the ghettos and smuggling food or helping the Jews escape.
