The only races targeted for complete destruction were the Jews and the 'gypsies'. Many other groups were also targeted, but either were not ethnic groups (races) or were not targeted for completed destruction.
The Nazis considered several groups unfit, primarily targeting Jews, whom they deemed racially inferior and a threat to Aryan purity. They also persecuted Roma (Gypsies), disabled individuals, homosexuals, communists, and other political dissidents. This ideology was rooted in a belief in racial superiority and the desire to create a homogeneous society based on their extremist views. As a result, millions from these groups were subjected to discrimination, violence, and extermination during the Holocaust.
All who opposed the Nazis and their allies.
There were many groups targeted by the Nazis, each for their own reason, but fundamentally because the Nazis did not see a place for them in German society. Different groups were targeted for different levels of persecution at different times. For example Gypsies were rounded up and experimented on and it was only late into the war that they were targeted for execution. In addition to this different tribes were treated differently and the same tribes were treated differently dependent on which country they were from. The disabled, especially the mentally disabled were the first to be targeted for execution, this was before the Holocaust. The reason for this was that they were seen as not contributing to society and being a drain on resources. Jews were the only other group targeted for execution, at first, in 1939 they were segregated and their numbers were so great in small spaces (ghettos) that in 1941 the decision to liquidate the ghettos was taken, in 1942 about three million Jews would be murdered, the decision was then made to unilaterally murder all Jews in occupied Europe. After Jews the next largest group was Soviet POWs, many of these were Jews themselves and they suffered near similar conditions, but instead of being gassed to death, they were worked to death. There were also millions of Slav civilians who were worked to death in near slave conditions. There were also many minor groups who were persecuted for political, social or moral reasons, but none would see persecution on the same scale as those mentioned, these include: trades unionists, communists, homosexuals, Jehovahs Witnesses, 'Swing Kids', habitual criminals and violent criminals.
Many minority groups were targeted. People like homosexuals, gypsies, and etc. were targeted.
The systematic extermination of Jews by the Nazis during World War II is called the Holocaust. Approximately six million Jews were murdered in this genocide, which also targeted other groups such as Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents. The Holocaust is a significant historical event that serves as a reminder of the dangers of hatred, discrimination, and intolerance.
Nazis singled out several groups for particularly cruel treatment, most notably Jews, who were targeted for systematic extermination during the Holocaust. Other groups included Romani people, disabled individuals, homosexuals, political dissidents, and Jehovah's Witnesses, all of whom faced severe persecution, imprisonment, and often death. The regime's ideology portrayed these groups as threats to the Aryan race and German society, justifying their brutal treatment under a framework of racial purity and nationalism.
Mainly, the Jews. Other groups targeted were the Gypsies, gays, and anyone who would oppose the Nazi government. Each group had their own triangle color, and sometimes they carried a strip.
There were many groups targeted for persecution by the Nazis. But the group that was hardest targeted and suffered a greater proportion of deaths than even the Jews were the Gypsies.
Other groups targeted by the Nazis for destruction included the Romani people, the disabled, political dissidents, homosexuals, and Slavic peoples. These groups were persecuted and murdered as part of the Nazis' efforts to create a "pure" Aryan society.
The Holocaust, the attempted extermination of the Jews and other groups deemed "undesirable" by the Nazis, was based on the idea that the Germans were the "master race." In every respect, it was a violent expression of discrimination.
Primarily Jews, but other minorities were targeted by the Nazis.
During the Holocaust, people were targeted and treated based on their racial and ethnic backgrounds, particularly Jews but also other groups such as Romani people and Poles. These individuals were systematically persecuted, stripped of their rights, and subjected to extreme discrimination, forced labor, imprisonment, and ultimately mass murder in concentration and extermination camps. The Nazis' ideology deemed certain groups as racially inferior and sought their extermination as part of their genocidal agenda.
A Vernichtungslager, or extermination camp, refers to a facility established by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust for the systematic mass murder of Jews and other targeted groups. Unlike concentration camps, which often forced inmates into labor under brutal conditions, extermination camps were specifically designed for rapid killing, primarily through gas chambers. Notable examples include Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sobibor, and Treblinka. These camps played a central role in the implementation of the Nazis' "Final Solution."
The Nazis targeted various groups during their rule in Germany from 1933 to 1945. These groups included Jews, Roma and Sinti people, disabled individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, political dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poles, Slavs, and other ethnic minorities. The Nazis aimed to eliminate or oppress these groups based on their ideology of racial purity and superiority.
During the Holocaust, curfews were imposed primarily to control and restrict the movement of Jewish populations and other targeted groups. These measures aimed to isolate them from the rest of society, making it easier for the Nazis to enforce their policies of oppression and extermination. Curfews served as a tool of intimidation, instilling fear and compliance among the victims while facilitating the logistics of deportations and roundups.
The term that describes Germany's systematic approach to eliminate specific groups from Europe during World War II is "genocide." This was most notably exemplified by the Holocaust, where the Nazi regime targeted Jews, Roma, disabled individuals, and other groups for extermination. The genocide was characterized by state-sponsored persecution, mass killings, and the establishment of concentration and extermination camps.
