Once Jews were in ghettos, labour camps or extermination camps escape was extremely difficult. A few people managed to escape from the Warsaw Ghetto through a tunnel that they dug. However, getting out was only half the battle: they had to avoid capture once out of the ghetto. An estimated 300 prisoners, not all of them Jews, succeeded in escaping from the Auschwitz group of camps, out of at least 1.3 million who were sent there ... However, only two (!) survived Belzec, where 434,508 Jews were slaughtered. (These two managed to escape). The most successful mass break out, at Sobibor in 1943, enabled about 250 prisoners to escape, and of these only about 50 were still alive at the end of the war ... If by escape you mean avoid the Holocaust by reaching a safe country, such as the US or Britain before the Holocaust began and if you include those who hid successfully the figure is of couse much higher - probably about 400,000.
