What would have become of the world if the Holokost had not happened?
Hello my dear alternate history fans. For example, at the Wannsee Conference, which the NSDAP bosses held in Berlin in January 1942, it was decided not to rush with the Jews. And as a result, those of them who have not yet been caught, flee or get the opportunity to live quietly until the end of the war. Those who were gathered in the camps, and this is a clear majority, continue to work for the good of the Reich and after a few years are liberated by the Soviet army. The Allies change the regime in Germany, formal apologies are made to the Jews, peace, tranquility and the Cold War begin))
What would happen next?
I see three main consequences. The first is that the Germans would have had considerable forces that could be sent to the front. This would relieve the railway rolling stock and save a lot of fuel. In addition, in a number of countries, far fewer people would join the guerrilla movement.
Their occupation could have become calm, as happened to the countries of the West. There is also a possibility that more volunteers would have joined the Germans than was actually the case. Therefore, victory would have been much more difficult, and perhaps the parties could even agree to peace.
A second implication would be that Zionism could remain an extremist ideology espoused only by some religious people or leftist Jews. The rest of the children of Zion laughed at this and did not want to leave the countries in which they lived.
Every European and Middle Eastern country would have its own significant community. Jews remained the seventh largest ethnic group in the USSR and make up from a third to a half of the inhabitants of Belarus. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there would have been at least a million of them in Russia.
In the press, in science, in business, on television, we already have enough Jews, and otherwise there would be half of them. The Jewish Autonomous Region would probably be a real Jewish autonomy, not a Potemkin village. Yiddish would remain the main Jewish language. Six million Jews were not among American citizens.
And, of course, Israel would not have come into being – this is the third consequence on our list. It’s just that in this case, people do not have an urgent need to leave for the poor and undeveloped Middle East, where only bearded Arabs live. Now they would be fighting for some other reason))
However, in this case, there are options. Since anti-Semitism will not be explicitly and consistently condemned around the world, it is likely that it will remain at the same high level as it was in countries with a high Jewish population. The Nazis will not go to jail without exception, but will be considered moderate nationalists. Jewish emigration to Palestine and the United States would then continue.
And by the time Israel declared independence in 1948, not 700,000, but a couple of million Jews would live there. In this case, the Zionist victory over the Arab armies could become much more complete and decisive. Israel will be stronger and bigger, and the majority of the population there will be European Ashkenazim people. And not as now, Eastern and Western Jews in a ratio of about 50/50. In this case, Yiddish is likely to remain the universal language of communication.
The Palestinians will not emerge as a single nation, but will simply be citizens of Jordan and Israel. In such a case, the Arab-Israeli conflict can be resolved. After all, in the real reality, the Jordanians have long abandoned the useless and senseless confrontation and concluded a peace treaty.
And yes, there will be twice as many Jewish Nobel laureates in the world. And there are twice as many Jewish entrepreneurs on the Forbes list, including in Russia))
