In World War 2 Jews from Germany and Western Europe were transported eastwards, mainly to the slave labour and extermination camps in Poland (early 1942 onwards). In the early stages of the Holocaust (October 1941 on) some German Jews were taken to Riga in Latvia and slaughtered in mass open-air shootings. Others were sent to the ghetto in Minsk and Maly Trostenets death camp near Minsk. A few were dumped in the already overcrowded Warsaw Ghetto. Nearly all the extermination camps were in Poland.

Where did the Germans migrate to in the Holocaust?

Germans really did not migrate much during the holocaust. They stayed at their homeland or they moved to another country where space was provided for them in well neighborhoods and good housing because Hitler granted the Germans they would have more living space instead of living in crowded places. The unfair fact is that many families were forced out of their homes and had to give it up to the Germans. They can only take what they can carry and their personal belongings.
