Jews (and Gypsies)
They were not one of the main groups targeted.
Two groups were: trade unionists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
There were many groups targeted for persecution by the Nazis. But the group that was hardest targeted and suffered a greater proportion of deaths than even the Jews were the Gypsies.
Quite simply; they were not targeted in the Holocaust. These groups were targets of the Nazis and suffered great oppression. But the groups which were targeted in the Holocaust suffered much harsher conditions and oppression than most of those groups mentioned. Of the groups mentioned: Jehovah's witnesses, 'incureables', homosexuals, political dissidents, communists and liberals [communist liberal is an oxymoron] had most of those imprisoned survive and were given many times the amount of food that was given to those targeted in the Holocaust. Also they were all released from the concentration camps if they renounced their beliefs, where as those who were targeted in the Holocaust were there because of who they were, not what they did or what they believed in.

The only races targeted for complete destruction were the Jews and the 'gypsies'. Many other groups were also targeted, but either were not ethnic groups (races) or were not targeted for completed destruction.
Gypsies were the only other group subject to the same persecution and dictates.
the short answer is: the persecution did, but the Holocaust did not
During the Holocaust, the Nazis targeted seven major groups: Jews, Romas (gypsies), homosexuals, Slavs, mentally and physically handicapped, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Soviet Prisoners of war.
No.
The Jews targeted in the Holocaust were civilians.
