How to Save Your Skin in a Nazi Victory

Historically being gay seemed to be an to kill people rather than the reason. Just don't be too critical. Which area would you reside in?

Yeah German, Scottish and English ancestors!
I am 1 quarter Italian, but since their allies I should be okay if not perfectly Aryan with Brown eyes and hair.

I'm mostly of British descent, and am also blond [now somewhat gray] and very blue eyed, so I'd be OK, unless they checked out my family tree and discovered that my grandmother's maiden name was Solomon. Then it might get a bit complicated.
This strays off topic somewhat, but I always thought it would be cool to go back in time to Nazi Germany with a complete set of history books, detailing the period 1945 to the present. So they could see just how they would wind up; well and truly fucked.

I'm half Danish, half British. Obviously we're somehow ignoring butterflies here, so let's say I'm a half-Danish Briton in 1940 when the Einsatzgruppen come rolling in... I reckon I'd be okay. Hitler liked the Danes and admired the British. I do have brown hair though, but, you know, so did most of the Nazi high command.
Now, as for whether I'd be able to keep my mouth shut long enough to stay alive, that's another matter entirely.

I have some non-white ancestry but that's Native American who AFAIK the Nazis were okay with. I think Hitler really liked Westerns for some reason and declared the Sioux to be honorary Aryans. In any case, I have a significant amount of German ancestry, as well as being Norwegian and Scottish, have a German name, and look stereotypically Nordic, being over 6' and having blonde hair and blue eyes. So I probably wouldn't have to worry too much about Nazis investigating me or anything. I do have a problem with authority of any kind but fortunately I'm adept at keeping my mouth shut so I should be good on that end too.
Mine as well. Mom's side has been here since the late 1600s and Dad's came over some time just before WW1. So how I survive is to thank God for good fortune and stay put.
IIRC I'm of Irish descent, so I can't really make a good call considering I know absolutely shit about the Nazis' views on Ireland.
Blond hair blue eyes, quarter German. But I'd still get executed for criticizing the regime. Which is easy to say given I'm not in the situation. I hope I would still be a romantic freedom idealist in such a scenario.
Myself, I'm no romantic, and I know how to measure the status quo and adapt. Still, I've never had to test that aptitude with my life at stake, and my guess is that sooner or later I would tell someone exactly what I think of the Nazi abomination. So again, I'd be very grateful to be in North America.

My grandfather would probably end up a partisan, so the whole thing is rather academic. But, somehow copy-pasting me into this scenario, I guess I would do fine on the race bit (I have some Austrian), but I would be doubly screwed mentally and politically.
hmm... not really sure.
on one hand i'm a south-slav from bosnia, on the other hand himmler was somehow fascinated by islam and there was that SS division.
probably fine as long as GGR is buisy digesting the east and preparing for the showdown against 1.5 billion asiatics under japanese rule.

Well, Asuming they somehow defeated America, I'm a Jew, so I'm so fucking fucked it isn't funny, unless the family up and moved to Manchuko or somewhere else controlled by the Japanese.
We've got some valuable skill sets, and my mother works in finance (well, database administration, call center forecasting, and stuff like that with HSBC, not sure what the equivalent would've been back then,) so that'd be fairly easily done, especially if she could just transfer to a different branch, like the Home office or Taipei.
Maybe I could start a delicatessen, or a hole in the wall diner in the area? I don't have any other real skill sets aside from cooking, and a little taste of home for the American expatriate community where ever we landed would be something nice.
