Spiritually speaking, if Nazi Germany won the war would morality change?

If Nazi Germany won the war and eventually succeeded in taking over the word and brain-washing everyone into believing their doctrine, would it still be morally wrong to kill Jews even thought the majority of the world thinks it's right?

Update:

Why or why not?

Update 2:

*world

    This question really asks if morality is dependent upon societal definition or is it independent of society and universal. As an example in Samoan society family is defined as a complex group of interrelated members with lineage traced either through the mother or the father. To Western culture this would be considered immoral. Now the question is, is murder universally immoral? For me the answer is, and has to be yes. If you condone the murder of Jews, then it can be logically argued that the murder of other members of society with whom you disagree is also justifiable. Society becomes anarchy under such conditions and cannot exist. There is no other species on the planet which kills itself, and if the world is lucky, we'll kill ourselves before we kill the world.

    It wasn't just the Jews Hilter wanted to exterminate. There were several groups he wanted dead and gone. Killing an innocent is wrong, period. If it is premeditated, meaning it's been thought it out and plotted, it's considered murder. What is popular isn't always right; and what is right, isn't always popular.

    Go read Mein Kampf, (My Life) Adolph Hitler's auto-biography.

    Yes... it's just different on how they want to control the people befitting to their beliefs.

    Taking over the "word"????

    There is no difference between the philosophy of the Nazis and the 1%. After the war they would have modified their stance and suggested the ordinary people follow traditional moral values.
