There were many groups targeted by the Nazis, each for their own reason, but fundamentally because the Nazis did not see a place for them in German society.
Different groups were targeted for different levels of persecution at different times.
For example Gypsies were rounded up and experimented on and it was only late into the war that they were targeted for execution. In addition to this different tribes were treated differently and the same tribes were treated differently dependent on which country they were from.
The disabled, especially the mentally disabled were the first to be targeted for execution, this was before the Holocaust. The reason for this was that they were seen as not contributing to society and being a drain on resources.
Jews were the only other group targeted for execution, at first, in 1939 they were segregated and their numbers were so great in small spaces (ghettos) that in 1941 the decision to liquidate the ghettos was taken, in 1942 about three million Jews would be murdered, the decision was then made to unilaterally murder all Jews in occupied Europe.
After Jews the next largest group was Soviet POWs, many of these were Jews themselves and they suffered near similar conditions, but instead of being gassed to death, they were worked to death.
There were also millions of Slav civilians who were worked to death in near slave conditions.
There were also many minor groups who were persecuted for political, social or moral reasons, but none would see persecution on the same scale as those mentioned, these include: trades unionists, communists, homosexuals, Jehovahs Witnesses, 'Swing Kids', habitual criminals and violent criminals.

Why were Jewish people globally recognized as victims of the Nazi Holocaust?
Because the Jewish people were the ones targeted, persecuted and murdered by the Nazis during the holocaust. Hitler declared his disdain for the jews, therefore his army, under his orders, slaughtered them by the millions. There were only a few of Hitler's soldiers that secretly despised what Hitler was doing and what he stood for, but the majority of Hitler's army took a perverted pleasure in the torture, mutilation, and murder of millions of innocent people just because they were Jewish. No other people (that I know of) were targeted by the Nazis like the Jewish people were. It made no difference to them if they killed infants and children, women or men.

They targeted the handicapped because they were no use to the Nazis because they couldn't work. The Nazis were going about creating a master race of perfect human beings.

That is why they exterminated who they exterminated: basically those who were not blond haired and blue eyed and those who were crippled/handicapped. It was known as euthanasia plan. Says omar.
