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.
No, and I'm pretty sure millions of people would find the inferrance incredibly offensive.

When did the first Soviet POWs arrived at Dachau and Why?
The date was Saturday 15th November 1941. The SS Inspectorate of Concentration Camps authorizes the postponement of the execution of Soviet prisoners of war (POWs) in Dachau and other concentration camps if SS doctors attest to their suitability for work. In light of the severe labor shortages in Germany the SS decides to alter the Commissar Order, which required the execution of Soviet political commissars and other officials. The German army turned tens of thousands of Soviet prisoners over to the SS for execution. Even though the SS drafts some Soviet prisoners for forced labor, it continues executing Soviet POWs at Dachau until September 1944. More than 6,000 Soviet POWs will be transferred to Dachau between the fall of 1941 and March 1942 and shot on the rifle range in Herbertshausen, north of the camp.
When did the Allies liberate Dachau?
American forces liberate the Dachau concentration camp on Saturday 29th April 1945. As they neared the camp, they found more than 30 coal cars filled with decomposing bodies at Dachau. American soldiers discover more than 30,000 prisoners in the camp. There were more than 200,000 registered prisoners during the history of the camp. Of these, more than 30,000 died. Because thousands more prisoners arrived and died in the camp without being registered, the total number of victims remains unknown.

What happened to Jewish doctors from 1933-1945?
Initially, during the early days of the Nuremberg Laws, Jewish doctors were still allowed to practice, but only on other Jews. Within a few years, they were forbidden from practicing at all. In some rare cases, a particular Jewish doctor would have sufficient expertise for the Nazis to consider him worthwhile enough to train other German Doctors.
However, the overwhelming majority of Jewish doctors were killed by the Nazis in Concentration Camps and Death Camps when the Final Solution was promulgated. This was no different than how they treated the other Jews in Nazi-controlled lands.
Why did the Nazis say the Holocaust didn't happen?
There is a very large group of people out there - mostly Muslim - who believe that the Jewish people are actively controlling the world's governments for their own ends. They refer to these Jewish conspirators as "Zionists".
Many fundamental Muslims believe that the Holocaust is part of "the great Zionist conspiracy" outlined in the Protocols. They believe that Hitler was himself a Jewish supporter, and that the Holocaust was fabricated (or exaggerated, as some apologists claim) to gain world sympathy for the Jews, which eventually led to the creation of the state of Israel. To quote Douglas Adams "This made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea."
Most of these prejudices come from one source, a document called "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion". The Protocols documents minutes from a meeting of elder Jewish authorities who are planning to take over the world. It is a complete hoax, however, and was proven to be a hoax many decades ago. It was originally written by a Russian anti-semite. Over the years it has been used as the "proof" that anti-semitic people are trying to take over the world, from the Russian Bolsheviks who first used it as anti-Jewish propaganda, then Nazis, and now Muslims.
It's an unfortunate reality that the Holocaust DID in fact, happen. There are way too many eye-witness accounts, physical evidence, and admissions of guilt from German prison camp workers and higher-ups in the Nazi party to even TRY to dispute the Holocaust. It has a lot to do with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - anti-Jewish texts first published in Russia, and soon thereafter internationally - and the book's continued presence as a top-seller among certain populations (such as Neo-Nazis). Watch the documentary below, and search online for many more and interesting books on the subject. The Holocaust Museum in D.C. also maintains the significance of the Protocols in agitating past and present Jewish hatred. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7169205203825782546&ei=HLpzSt-cOofYqAOfxO2zBA&q=protocols+of+the+elders+of+zion&hl=en&client=firefox-a

Supposedly the Japanese-Americans so imprisoned had their property protected in their absence but in fact, much was lost to vandalism, forced sale, theft or confiscation. Many farms and businesses were thus lost by these persons.
After many years, around 1981 ( I think ) a token amount of money (around $25,000 per person) was awarded as damages by the US Federal Government. While trivial financially compared to the sums lost, nonetheless, many Japanese Americans were satisfied with this settlement as it was considered an admission of wrong doing by the Government.

True, it was in 1988 that congress apologized for their actions and gave about 20,000 dollars to each Japanese. But what is often not noted, a total of around 400 million dollars worth of land was confiscated from the Japanese, bettering the wealth of the American Government.

Why did the Jews not simply flee Germany and emigrate to the US?
Many wanted to do precisely that, but in the interwar period the US had highly restrictive immigration policies and these were enforced. To put it bluntly, there were strict limits on the number of immigrants that the US admitted from Germany, Austria and other countries. By the way, there were also political, non-Jewish refugees from Germany swelling the numbers applying for entry to the US.
Why did Hitler eliminate the Jews during the holocoust?
He viewed them as a lower class of person, as such he did not want them around.
Why did Axis countries not under Nazi control murder their Jews?
Which countries are you thinking of?
Countries like Romania and Bulgaria and more specifically Slovakia.
___
Romania had a long history of rabid antisemitism steeped in superfical religiosity, but Bulgaria in fact claims that it refused to hand over its own citizens to the Nazis. Slovakia was a German puppet state from 1939-44 with very little autonomy, and like most Catholic countries in Eastern Central Europe it was extremely antisemititic, believing that (most of) the Jews were Communists, and that Communism was a specifically Jewish ideology. Much the same is true of Croatia. In the period c. 1918 onwards the Catholic church was haunted by the spectre of Bolshevism.
Incidentally, Slovakia was the only country in Europe that went so far as to pay(!) the Germans to remove its Jews.
--------
Bulgaria surrendered 11 384 Jews to the Nazis, these were comprised of refugees and Jews who lived in the territories gained during the war. In doing so they 'saved' the 50 000 Jews from 'Old' Bulgaria.

He did not; six million people did not die by accident, everyone knew what they were doing, this is why the murders were kept secret (or at least they tried to keep them secret).
Why did Nazis make Jews suffer in concentration camps?
To show how un-important they were to them, and make them miserable before they burned them in the ovens. Basically because they were to kill everyone who didn't have light hair, and blue or green eyes, and that was against the Jews religion.
Did Sugihara gave visa to Jews?
Yes, he gave visas to thousands of Jews, thereby saving them from the Nazis, despite being his harassed by the Japanese government.
