In a void where there are just these particular Nazis and Jews, sure, but in most contexts, you’ll have a variety of intelligences with varying utility functions, and those with pro-arbitrary-genocide values are dangerous to have around.
Of course, there is the simple alternative of putting the Nazis in an enclosed environment where they believe that Jews don’t exist. Hypotheticals have to be really strongly defined in order to avoid lateral thinking solutions.

I am pretty sure that certain kinds of societies and minds are possible that while utterly benign and quite happy would cause 21st century humans to want to exterminate them and suffer greatly as long as it was known they existed.
It is certainly an option, but if there are enough Nazis, this is a low-utility “final solution” compared to the alternatives.
