There's a big gap between "powerless" and "sovereign".

When the literal Nazis took over Belgium and the Netherlands, the actions taken by the resistance in each included attempting to destroy official records of who all the Jewish people were: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943_Amsterdam_civil_registry_... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_resistance_in_German-oc...

Much harder to do that these days, when backups are cheap.

DNA testing is extremely popular with Ashkenazi Jews for some reason. And they're, no surprise, very very endogamous, so that's an ancestral component you can identify fairly reliably, unlike, say, Scottishness.
