The mortality of Jews during the war would be similar at best to the modern Philippines data at 3.72% pa
Putting this in perspective:
European Jewish Population 1939: 9 240 000; the birth rate is non existent.
| Years WWII | Deaths | r Population |
| 1939 | 9240000 | |
| 1940 | 343728 | 8896000 |
| 1941 | 330941 | 8565000 |
| 1942 | 318620 | 8246000 |
| 1943 | 306751 | 7939000 |
| 1944 | 295340 | 7644000 |
| 1945 | 284357 | 7360000 |

The table shows the impact of a high mortality rate due to the deprivations of war time conditions and resultant lack of resources. This excludes rampant diseases like typhus which took hold in most of the camps as well as the appalling conditions of weather in the near polar regions around Latvia.
As a result of natural mortality and no births of note, the Jewish population of Europe would have fallen by 1.9 million people from the years 1940 to the end of 1945.
If the Germans euthanized the "invalids" due to near death, the chart above would not change; those people would have died before the end of the war anyhow, in all probability.
