I just read a biography on this. The Jews weren`t the only ones killed. Jews, Russians,Poles, and Gypsies were also killed.

There were also Soviet POWs, Roma, disabled and mentally ill, gay men, Jehovah's Witnesses, and political opponents.

The reason all these people were killed was because of Adolf Hitler (who grew up hating mainly Jews), so one man's hatred was expanded due to his nazi politics and his influencial speeches (he was a good speaker). So he and the Nazi Party who emphasized nationalism and antisemitism ... sought to rid the world of those they hated.

The Nazis were above all a "hate party".

Why was the Holocaust against Jews and not another type of people?

To the contrary, it wasn't only Jews who were persecuted, though they did constitute the majority. Gyspsies, gays, other minorities and political disidents were all targeted, imprisoned and executed during the years of the Holocaust. They were targeted because Hitlor needed someone to blame the problems of Geremny on and in the bible the caused so much troble the Hitlor knew the would be a easy target.

Why was religion a focus during the Holocaust?

The motivation was entirely racist, political and ideological, not religious. (Obviously, there was a religious background to antisemitism, but religion was not a motive for the Holocaust). Michael is arguing with me about this, and i am showing him that I am right.---The Holocaust wasn't all about religion. Sure, the Jews were the main targets, but 6 million other people were also killed. Poles, Russians, homosexuals, gypsies, communists, socialists, intellectuals, and anyone who disagreed with Hitler. The Jews were the main target yes, but not the only target and people seem to forget that.---The Nazis did not persecute the Jews for their religion but because of their ethnicity ('race'). The Holocaust had almost nothing to do with religion.


Were the Jews the only people targeted?

Jews were not the only people who suffered. But, along with the Gypsies they were the only people who were persecuted for their heritage, rather than choices that they made.
