Not likely, although their spread throughout Eastern Europe (the diaspora) left them at the mercy of whatever local or national entity decided to punish them for their faith (or their success in the trades). As for why so many went to their deaths in the Holocaust, I'm sure that most did not recognize the threat. Even the Jews that fought back had too little armament and too little organization to make much of a difference.
