I don't have the details, but the number of Jews killed by the Nazis before 1.1.1941 (and even 1.1.1942) was a very small proportion of the total number of Jews killed by the Nazis. One would need to look at:

  1. Deaths of Jews (in ordinary concentration camps) up to the end of 1940. These would have been mainly Jews sent there for their politics, not simply for being Jews.
  2. Deaths during and in the aftermath of Kristallnacht (9-10 November 1938).
  3. Deaths in the ghettos established from October 1939 onwards.
  4. Jews killed in isolated incidents.
  5. Jews killed in the very early deportations from the Palatinate and Baden (October 1940). They were sent to Gurs concentration camp in France, not to extermination camps.

I would be surprised if the total number was more than 30,000 by 1.1.1941. Even one year later the vast majority of Jews under Nazi rule were still alive. That of course changed in 1942, 1943 and 1944. The actual genocide was carried out very quickly.
