Hitler managed to wipe away 99% of the Jews from Germany. Only 1% survived.
_________
The above answer is inaccurate. In 1933, when the Nazis came to power in Germany, there were about 525,000 Jews in the sense of registered members of Jewish congregrations. In addition, there were about a further 300,000(?) people regarded by the Nazis as ethnic Jews.
Between 1933 and 1941 the US accepted about 250,000 refugees from Germany (and from 1938 also Austria). Britain accepted 71,000 refugees before the outbreak of war in 1939, and many other countries accepted some refugees. Obviously, by no means all of these refugees were Jews in either of the above senses.
The total number of German Jews killed in the Holocaust is generally given as about 165,000.
'... left Germany' does not necessarily mean 'survived the Holocaust'. German Jews who fled to France, Belgium and the Netherlands did not survive in many cases. In order to avoid double counting, German Jews who went to France and other countries are not included in the figure of 165,000. This figure refers to the death toll of German Jews deported from Germany. (Sorry it's a bit complicated). Neverless, the claim that 99% of German Jews were exterminated is wrong.
According to the Wikipedia article on the Hsitory of the Jews in Germany, "Of the 522,000 Jews living in Germany in January 1933, only 214,000 were left by the eve of World War II". This would suggest that about 308,000 Jews left Germany in this period. However, the birth-rate among the Jewish population in Germany fell sharply after the Nazis came to power.

What percentage of the Jewish population did the Nazi kill?
I'm searching for the same answer. I know it was not a large percentage. I could not believe it could have been because I would like to think people 60 years ago had a brain and a heart. Alien45g: about 10.391198% of the Germans were part of the nazi party in 1939(:
What was the first solution to the Jewish problems and why wasn't Hitler satisfied?
Hitler's thoughts and motivations are still the subject of debate today. At first the Jewish population of Germany and German-occupied countries had their property confiscated and were deported to concentration camps; to be killed by various means, experimented upon, or worked and starved to death, but secretly from the German population and the rest of the world. Why he adopted the "Final Solution" later instead of sooner is unclear, but I think he had reached the point where he no longer cared about world opinion. For example, Hitler made no attempt to destroy the Jews in Denmark or Warsaw until 1943, by which time Germany was losing and his decisions had become most erratic. ___ The "first solution" was supposed to be a "territorial solution", that is, the Nazis hoped to: (1) bully all German and Austrian Jews into leaving Greater Germany and (2) ship all the Jews they could find to some remote place, and they briefly (in 1940) earmarked Madagascar for this. However, this solution was based on the assumption that Germany would win the war easily and quickly. It was never a practical "solution". (Even the first "solution" was not practical in view of the severe restrictions on migration at the time). Moreover, the war itself greatly increased Nazi Germany's self-inflicted "Jewish problem". As the Germans gained more and more territory in Eastern Europe, the number of Jews under Nazi rule increased.

Haber was of Jewish heritage (he himself had converted to Christianity). He wasn't actually expelled; he left of his own accord in 1933 after seeing how many of his Jewish scientist friends were being treated.
