To harass and dishonor them. Shaving is forbidden in Judaism, and some jewish men with beards have pe'ots(sidelocks), which are traditionally connected with the religion. These are forbidden for jews to cut off, especially for a jew in the orthodox direction.

The cutting of beards was symbolic of dehumanizing and humiliating Jewish men during the Holocaust. The Nazis aimed to strip away their identity, dignity, and cultural practices through such acts of forced degradation and control.
