Because the Holocaust was completely based on that. Most Germans believed that they were superior to the Jews, therefore discriminated against them for being who they were. They prejudged Jews as unworthy of life, so they killed them. But not only Jews were being treated horribly for their religion, the gypies, the blacks, polish folks, etc. They were also discriminated against and thrown into ghettos and concentration camps simply because they weren't German.

Jews and others were murdered because of the groups they belonged to (Jews, Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc) not for anything they had done.
