Was it just the Jews the Nazis hated?

Answer 1

It wasn't just the Jews the Nazis hated. They also hated gypsies, priests, intellectuals, teachers, gays, very poor people (homeless), mentally ill, people with learning difficulties, handicaps, dwarfs/midgets. They would send the majority of all of these people to the concentration camps, they didn't wipe them all out though, even though Hitler wanted the perfect race in Germany.

The Nazis' perfect race, (The Aryan Race, as Hitler called it), had to be a pure German, meaning all their ancestors have pure German blood, and the cherry on top would be the fact that they had blond hair and blue eyes.

Answer 2

This is a loaded question. Some were, some weren't. If your unarmed civilian family was forced to leave your home, taking only what they could carry in a suitcase, and forced onto a cattle car by armed soldiers, bound for some unknown destination, would you not feel a little fear? The Jews in the Warsaw ghetto staged an incredible armed uprising, and gave the Germans a real run for their money. Jews in the death camps at Treblinka and Auschwitz also staged uprisings and fought back. Many Jews took to the inhospitable forests and struggled to survive starvation, murder and freezing to death, rather than submit to the SS, partisans, bandits and others. There are limitless stories of incredible courage, sacrifice, tragedy and daring experienced by those who have been severely oppressed throughout history.
