Originally only Jews were targeted for extermination, they would be joined by gypsies.

The disabled were also targeted for extermination, but this was before the Holocaust and was the inspiriation for many of the extermination camps of the Holocaust.

Other groups who were persecuted by the Nazis like Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, tarde unionists, clergy and many more, were not targeted for extermination, but were held in concentration camps.

Why were the jews gypies jehovas witnesses incureables homosexuals political dissidents soviet prisoners of war and communist liberals targeted during the holocaust?

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.
