Yes, of course, but it was very difficult once the Holocaust had actually begun. It was not enough to run away: they needed to avoid recapture, and for that they needed help.
The soldiers had papers listing the name and religion of each Jew. They had gotten them before the war, and had kind of tricked them all into stating they were Jews, so they couldn't pretend not to be even if they had wanted to. They did have ways of escape, though, by fishermen and other citizens sneaking them out at night to Poland and other countries that had not been invaded by soldiers yet. A lot of the time, people hid Jews in secret rooms in their own homes. So yes, they did try to escape, but many people and organizations had to help them.
