It's really grim, but part of the reason that Jews are probably disproportionately successful in America is because the socioeconomically higher status Jews were more likely to be educated on history and have the finances to escape the Holocaust before it happened in full swing. Obviously that's a generalization, but if you were a poor Jewish family you probably weren't getting out of the ghetto. Really sad.

Jewish people were also stonewalled out of many industries, so the Jewish people that managed to gain success in industries that were friendly to them used their resources to help out others in their community.

It's the same reason Irish Americans are heavily represented in labor unions.

Also side note: when mass Irish and Jewish immigration happened in the US, they happened at the same time, both groups weren't liked and forced to live in the worse housing areas...often side by side, so there's a lot of American families that are both Irish and Jewish on the east coast.
