Just for the record, German citizens were not pro-Holocaust. Many Germans helped Jewish families hide from Nazis during WWII, even facing imprisonment or death for doing so. Most Jews precipitated Nazi violence before the war or Holocaust even started. Those who had enough money emigrated out of Germany or surrounding countries for protection, most flocking to the United States. However, many countries didn't want to accept these Jewish immigrants into their country, which is why the Jewish emigration rate was much lower than it should've been. Hitler's first intention was not to exterminate the Jewish race. He simply wanted to expel the Jews from Germany and establish what he believed to be the Aryan race, although many Jews died in the process. He rounded up the Jews who didn't leave the country and put them in concentration or labor camps. However, as WWII dragged on and Hitler was faced with defeat, he ordered the extermination of Jews, starting the Holocaust. Prior to the formation of concentration camps, many Jews attempted to escape, many of who were successful. Jews hid from Nazis or fled the country, or even faked death, fleeing when unseen. When the war was finally over and the death camps were closed, the Allies forced German citizens to walk through the death camps and see the amount of death and destruction they helped aid. The surviving Jews were upset and angry at Europe, especially the British, and wanted to leave their destroyed neighborhoods in Europe. This caused the British to turn their mandate of Palestine into a Jewish state to compensate for the Holocaust, which caused a massive emigration of Jews out of Europe into this new Jewish state: Israel. This area was chosen because it was the birthplace of Judaism and is also the sole of the religion (as it is also considered the sole of Christianity and Islam). 6,000,000 Jews had perished in the Holocaust and an additional 3,000,000 had migrated to Israel. Europe was basically depleted of its Jewish population, which explains why the Jewish population of Europe today is a measly 2,000,000.

Jewish people survived because they lived in secret annexes and they had people helping them by buying their food and entertainment. They also survived by fleeing the country and going to a country that wasn't controlled by the Germans.
