There actually are. There are records. On Yom ha Shoah (Holocaust Day)
some Jewish organizations actually organize "marathons" of sorts where
people take turn continually reading long lists of names of people who
died in the Holocaust.
Of course, those long lists of names are derived from the census material for the towns, villages, shtetls. These are the people who vanished to the maw of Nazi racial policies.

On what basis are you saying none of them returned home? One reason
they might not come back would be they had made themselves enemies of
the Muslim community and so it would have been crazy to go back to
Medina. There were other Jewish tribes in the vicinity. Maybe they got
absorbed into one of them? I'm not claiming to know for sure.

Again, on what basis are you saying any of this? Do you have some
exhaustive knowledge of all human genealogical records and every human
myth?
Why is it so important to you to claim that Muhammad (saaws) wiped out
an entire tribe?
Please, don't ever ask me why I think you sound like an Islamophobe.
I am no more a hater of Islam than you are of Christians or Jews.
