American Jews in German-USA stalemate

Let's suppose that WWII ended to stalemate between Germany and USA (both have nuclear weapons, or neither have nuclear weapons but German won USSR and perhaps beated Invasion of Normandy).

UK would probably have been surrendered, and probably Germany would have demanded it to extradite Jews to Germany (or occupied Britain and killed them directly in British soil).

But what about American Jews. Do you think that Hitler would have been interested in them, if open war between Germany and USA would have been impossible.

I think that at least assisinations (or attempts of them) by German agents would have been probable against famous Jews, e.g. Einstein.
 
I don't think the Nazis would have tried to do anything about American Jews in the world you propose. In fact, in a "cold war" a situation such as this, the Germans might even be very scrupulous NOT to go after Jews that were US-citizens, even if they technically could - such as if these people were in Nazi-occupied territory. In this context, I have read in two books on German treatment of US POWs that, in general, British and US jewish servicemen were not treated "as jews" but as enemy POW's and given the same treatment as non-jewish Americans and Britons.

In the situation you suggest, I've even wondered if the Nazis might be agreeable to deportations of European jews to the USA, if the US would have them. The Holocaust in its final (mechanized death camp) form was, to some extent, the hastily arranged crime of a nation that knew it was losing the war and wanted to at least succeed in its final solution to rid Europe of Jews one way or the other. In a scenario in which Germany did not lose, they might find some other negotiating use for the people in the concentration camps that acheives the same end.
