Sorry, Letty, but LotR is in no way an allusion to WWII - Tolkien himself said that he was not attempting to make reference to the primary world in his story. His own war experiences were in WWI and certainly influenced him, but there is no direct connection to his story. There is no people in his works that is intended to be similar to the Jews; there are direct quotes concerning this in his 'Letters'.
