I'll probably leave out a few of the intended groups, but the targets of the Nazi regime were (in no particular order): Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals, political dissidents, Jehova's Witnesses, Catholics, Slavs of any nationality, and the very old, mentally disabled or physically disabled.
1.Jews
2.Slavs
3.Russians
4.Prisoners of War

6.Disabled People
7. Mentally Retarded

12. Non Germans
13. Communists
14. Gypsies

NO
People were not persecuted in the Holocaust for being French, Italian, National, Catholic, Non-German, Transexual, Polish, Slavic or prisoners of war.
'Mentally retarded' is just an offensive way of saying 'disabled'.
Many of those groups did suffer under the Nazis, but it had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
The Jews (and Gypsies) were targeted for extermination and imprsionment, a fate that did not apply to ANY of the other groups. Groups such as Jehovah's Witnesses or homosexuals were targeted as to eliminte the practices of those groups, not eliminate the people practicing them, the individuals were released if they made a statement recanting their ways.
Jews, gays and the mentally handicapped were persecuted in the Holocaust.
Mainly Jews were persecuted in Auschwitz.
Auschwitz I Stammlager, Auschwitz II Birkenau and Auschwitz III Monowitz
It had 3 sections. Auschwitz-I, which served as a working camp. Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the death camp. Auschwitz-III, it was used to provide slave labor to the nearby industry.
Auschwitz had 3 big 'main' camps. They were called Auschwitz I, Auschwitz Birkenau and Auschwitz Monowitz. Monowitz was really a sub camp which was commonly used and when expanded did become as part of the main camps. Out of the lot, Auschwitz Birkenau was the biggest and most feared of as this part was about Extermination when the Final Solution was putted in place.
From early 1942 Auschwitz operated as both. The only other camp that served as both a concentration camp and extermination camp was Majdanek.
Auschwitz was established by Heinrich Himmler.
