Why was Hitler and the German people prejudiced towards the Jewish people?
Nazi prejudice against the Jewish people were focused primarily on the blame that Hitler had placed on them for huge things like the loss of World War 1. This, combined with the idea of racial supremacy and the Jewish inferiority, fueled horrendous actions.
It was Judaism that taught the Western world about God.Dictionaries define "Judaism" as The monotheistic religion of the Jews, since the founding principle of Judaism was and is the belief in One God. This was the teaching which was spread by Abraham, and has continued since then. From Judaism, belief in One God has spread through the Western world.

Who was treated the harshest under German rule?
During the Holocaust Hitler and his followers wanted to rid the world of people they believe unworthy of life. They treated people with harshness that was beyond barbaric and immensely cruel. The Jews were treated especially harsh. Many were forced into concentration camps where they were starved, used as slaves, and murdered. Some were forced into gas chambers, some into furnaces where they were burned alive, and some were shot and killed with not even an ounce of mercy. Babies were often tossed into the air and shot as if it were a sport. The Holocaust was definitely a harsh and brutal slaughter.

Why did the Nazis made homosexuals wear a pink triangle?
There was a whole system of badges that were required to be worn by the prisoners in Nazi Germany prison camps. The badges were mostly inverted triangles (flat side up, pointy side down) of different colours. Jewish prisoners had to wear a non inverted yellow triangle with another inverted triangle superimposed, over the top to form a star.
Red triangles signified political enemies; green professional criminals; blue forced labour or emigrants, purple bible students; black for asocials and brown for gypsies. The colour for sex offenders was pink. Most of these happened to be homosexual men. So a homosexual Jew would wear a star comprising a pink triangle over a yellow triangle.

Here are the Central Powers
Central Powers
Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austria, Hungary, and parts of the Balkan states, Bosnia, Hertzegovnia, Serbia, part of Montenegro ,and others)
Bulgaria
German Empire Germany and its states, as well as member states and colonies of its empire in Africa, Asia and the Pacific.)
Ottoman Empire (Turkey and its empire) You should look up "World War 1" in an encyclopedia. On one side were the Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey. On the other side were the Triple Entente of Britain, France and Russia, which came to the aid of Serbia and Belgium, and were joined by Italy (in 1915), the US (in 1917), Japan, China, and other countries. Russia's Communist government made a separate peace in March 1918 (not November 1917). The province is spelled Herzegovina. Serbia was the original victim of the Central Powers and hence can hardly be listed as one of them. Since Montenegro was an ally, it can hardly be listed as a Central Power.

What were the names of the concentration camps during the Holocaust?
There were three 'grades' of concentration camps - I, II and III, with III being the harshest.
- Grade I concentration camps, such as Dachau.
- Grade II concentration camps, such as Buchenwald.
- Grade III concentration camps, for example, Auschwitz I.
- Extermination camps - such as Auschwitz II (Birkenau), Treblinka II, Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor and a key section of Majdanek. These were off the scale and top secret.
- Transit camps, where prisoners were held before being sent to other kinds of camps.
- Incredible as it may sound, there were also concentration camps for 'unruly' young people. At first the minimum age was 12, but it was later lowered to 8 and then 2! The mind boggles ...
- There were also some specialized camps. For example, at one time Bergen-Belsen was used as a dumping ground for sick prisoners.
In addition, there were camps for foreign forced labourers. By mid 1944 there were 5.7 million foreign forced labourers in Germany, mainly from Poland and the Soviet Union, but also from France and other countries. They were housed near their places of work, usually in small camps. These people were in effect kidnapped from countries like Poland and Ukraine and forced to work for the Germans. Some were sent to work in various concentration camps.
Obviously, prisoner of war (POW) camps formed a different category. On the whole, British and American POWs were treated more or less in accordance with international law; Soviet and Polish POWs were treated appallingly badly.
