As snipa already said, Hitler's plan for resettling the Jewish population never amounted to much. .

In the 1930s, before the horrors of the Holocaust began, the Nazis pursued policies that would force Jews to emigrate from Germany, rather than immediately resorting to violence.
One of the primary strategies was the Nazi policy of "Judenrein" (meaning "clean of Jews") which sought to remove Jews from German society. This was part of Hitler's broader vision of creating a "racially pure" state. However, rather than immediately resorting to violent methods, the Nazis initially used coercion and legal pressure to encourage Jews to leave.
By 1939, it is estimated that approximately 250,000 Jews had left Germany, fleeing primarily to countries like the United States, Palestine (then under British mandate), and other parts of Europe. These emigrations were driven by a combination of factors, including the early anti-Semitic laws and policies of the Nazi regime, such as the Nuremberg Laws (1935), as well as widespread fear of what might come next.
The emigration slowed after the war began in 1939 due to tightened border controls and restrictions on emigration. After that, most Jews were unable to leave, and the situation deteriorated rapidly.
