Could the Holocaust been avoided?

Germany loses the war in 1940. The End.

The Holocaust could have been avoided. Firstly if the Nazis weren't a bunch of psychopathic anti-Semites, Slavophiles, anti-Zionists, homophobes, etc., etc.

Trouble is...that is exactly what they were....change that and they are not longer Nazi's.

Or the Nazis could follow their original plan of "encouraging" Jews to emigrate (the Madagascar Plan, for example. Actually, Eichmann was sent to Palestine early in his career to see whether or not the place was "fit for Jewish resettlement"). Mind, this probably wouldn't have prevented the majority of atrocities committed against Jews on the Eastern Front during the War, but it probably would have spared Western Jewry.

When Greater Germany went to war in September 1939 the Jewish population had fallen to less than 250,000, so even if the Western nations had accepted into their countries every German of the Jewish faith the holocaust would still see the murder of around 7,750,000 innocent people
