Jesus death was not a human sacrifice in the same manner as other types of human sacrifice. It wasn't an ordinary sacrifice like the animal in the temple. There were vast similarities and vast differences. I've touched on some of those things above.  Yet none of these things diminish the role he played. 
Jesus was crucified by the Romans. 
Was crucifixion common in the time of Jesus?
Crucifixion in Roman times was applied mostly to slaves, disgraced soldiers, Christians and foreigners--only very rarely to Roman citizens.

How many people were crucified during Jesus' time?
Conservative estimates are that in the Roman period 300,000 people were crucified, including large numbers of enslaved individuals, most in Europe, in Italy. But a figure of more than two million is more realistic.

It’s the Jews that did not perform human sacrifice. They were forbidden by God.

It wasn't just a dead Jew, it was a particular line - of the promise - that would bring us to the Messiah. That would point out who he was. The Holocaust was evil. And anti-Semitism has no place in the world.  And without the Christ, then all humanity would end up in destruction - completely of their own free will and choice. Your words demonstrate where you stand. And that is a matter for you. 
It was not the Jews that performed human sacrifice. They were forbidden by God. The Romans crucified Jesus and 375 years later turned his crucifixion into an act of salvation. Spreading the belief as Gods chosen people the Jews could forgive sins. Then using Jesus as an example introduced the Holocaust to sacrifice Jews in numbers to forgive the growing population of Christian sinners.

You're right that crucifixion was a brutal and common Roman punishment, especially for non-citizens and slaves. Historically, Jesus' death was viewed as redemptive by Christians from the very beginning, not as a later Roman invention. The early church, particularly the apostle Paul, emphasized Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection as the cornerstone of salvation.
Regarding Jewish practices, it's true that Jewish law strictly forbade human sacrifice (Deuteronomy 12:31). The suggestion that the Holocaust was some form of "Christian" act of atonement is historically and theologically false. The Holocaust was a genocide driven by anti-Semitic ideology, which was entirely opposed to the teachings of Jesus and Christian values.
Jesus' death was not a human sacrifice in the pagan sense. It was a voluntary act of love and obedience, fulfilling God's promise to redeem humanity through the Messiah. His sacrifice was unique because He was sinless and divine, taking on the penalty of sin for all people. Christians believe that His resurrection confirmed the victory over sin and death.
These distinctions matter because they prevent misunderstanding and highlight the message at the heart of Christianity: God's love demonstrated through Jesus, not hatred or violence.

The Reverend never ceases to amaze, does he?  Take slow long look at the bold underlined above, Shila.  Particularly the words "Voluntary" and "Obedience".

Jesus was crucified by pagans, the Romans did not believe in Jesus. Even the Jews shouted crucify him, crucify him. Jesus was betrayed by Jesus and Peter lied about Jesus 3 times. His crucifixion was not unique.

Why was Jesus crucified according to the Romans?
Jesus was arrested on a charge of treason and was crucified, a common form of execution for condemned criminals. To the Romans, Jesus was a troublemaker who had got his just desserts. To the Christians, however, he was a martyr and it was soon clear that the execution had made Judaea even more unstable.

How many people did the Romans crucify?
Conservative estimates are that in the Roman period 300,000 people were crucified, including large numbers of enslaved individuals, most in Europe, in Italy. But a figure of more than two million is more realistic.

The people chose Jesus over Barabbas to be crucified.
Matthew 27:17 With the crowd before him, Pilate said, "Which prisoner do you want me to pardon: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?" The crowd picked Barabbas to pardon.

Jesus could not save himself or his disciples. They were all killed after he was crucified.

Whose full name was Jesus Barabbas.  Which Jesus died?
