ELI5:What was the Nazi plan for explaining the Final Solution to the German public?

The general historical consensus is that the Final Solution was not general public knowledge since the average citizen would be against genocide.  Theoretically, if the Nazis won, did the 3rd Reich have a plan/idea in place on how they were going to explain the complete absence of Jews in Europe?  Or were they going to pretend they were all alive and well "somewhere else"?

I don't think they really thought that far. Actually, most of the Nazis' plans were half-baked: for example, they were building huge structures all over Berlin and Nuremberg (the few they completed can still be seen today), but didn't have a clue how to actually pay for them.

At the time they explained to the public that Jews were being sent to labour camps. There's a lot of dispute over how much the people really knew, but the important thing is that anyone who dared voice any misgivings could be terrified into silence.

It wasn't just the Jews who were being sent to concentration camps, of course: there were also homosexuals, Roma and Sinti (what we call "Gypsies") and later religious and political enemies as well.

The vague idea was, presumably, that once all these "enemies of the state" had been removed from Germany, the people who were left would eventually forget them and rejoice in their utopian lives. No need to explain their complete absence: it would, in time, just become accepted.
