It simply didn't happen. A hundred thousand Jews (maybe 200k?) died from typhus and malnutrition caused by allied bombing of food and supply lines.

Given the Nazis were going full Ghengis Khan on the Russians, it doesn't pass the bullshit test to say they would have declared Jews off limits to atrocities. Yes Jews have a proven track record of greatly exaggerating claims of persecution, before, during and after the war up to the present day, but it's naive to think the Nazis weren't ruthless enough to carry out some of the claims made against them. They had the means and motive.
