Yes. Without long-standing prejudices against the Jews it would have been virtually impossible to demonize them in way that the Nazis did and to try to exterminate them. From a social and political point of view, one cannot simply pick on any group and exterminate it. It has often been said that antisemitism is as irrational as hating people with red hair, but of course 'redheads' have not been demonized and persecuted.

antisemitism is the longest hatred cause in history that still survives today. Among the most common manifestations of antisemitism throughout history were pogroms.

How did the Holocaust influence the status of American jewry?
This is a difficult question, but I think it did not actually make any change to the status of Jews in America. (Obviously, as public awareness of the Holocaust grew, antisemitism became less acceptable).
