Under Nazi Germany, anyone who didn't fit into the social normality's of society was targeted and sent to concentration camps. This included Jews, homosexuals, communists, those with disabilities and gypsies. The main reason was because these groups were easy targets. They were easy to identify, were a minority and unconventional within the society. It also fit in with Hitler's desire to create a Germany made up of the perfect "Aryan Race". In his eyes anyone who didn't fit this description was inferior, but at the bottom of the racial hierarchy was Jews, Black people and Gypsies. He considered them a corrupting force within society that must be destroyed.

Gypsies were killed in WWII by the German Nazis. They were killed because the Nazis considered them inferior to all the other people. They had the inferior people, such as gypsies, homosexuals, and the handicapped executed in concentration camps. They were executed through gas chambers, firing squads, cremation, and even by boiling water.

Hitler targeted them because they were almost universally hated in Europe for their criminal behavior & family lifestyle. They could be recognized by their appearance and location. In other words, it was easy to recognize and find them.
