Read through these examples carefully so you learn what is and what isn't a good thesis statement. Then let us know what you decide to write.

PS — Have you planned (outlined) your paper yet? If not, that should be done in conjunction with planning and writing your thesis statement.
I have multiple ideas and I made up a couple and found a few quotes but they don't seem like good thesis statements;
1. There are survivors of the Holocaust, Jewish survivors and Nazi soldiers.
2. During World War || the experiences of Jewish individuals or communities living under Nazi occupation were appalling, why?
QUOTES:
3. Jews survived all the defeats, expulsions, persecutions and pogroms, the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people, even the Holocaust itself, because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear.
Jonathan Sacks
3. That I survived the Holocaust and went on to love beautiful girls, to talk, to write, to have toast and tea and live my life - that is what is abnormal.
Elie Wiesel

Can thesis statements be a question?
Don't use quotations for thesis statements. Those are OTHER people's words.

Of the ones you wrote, this would work fine:
During World War II, the experiences of Jewish individuals or communities living under Nazi occupation were appalling.

… although you should undoubtedly think of an even stronger word than "appalling."
I think this is good: Experiences of Jewish Individuals or communities living under Nazi occupation during World War || were appalling.
Please note that the "II" indicating World War Two needs to be two capital I's, not two of those keys at the right side of the keyboard.

If you don't want to use the correct Roman numeral abbreviation, just write "World War Two."
