Answer:

Jews - they were the main victim. Hitler's reason behind the mass killings was to eliminate them from Germany, because German people were "Aryan race" or the top race, and Jews were the "lowest race." They wore Jewish stars.

Homosexuals - the Nazis mostly only cared about German homosexuals. They were killed because they would "defect the German race" which were supposed to be "perfect." They wore pink triangles.

Anyone who would not support Hitler - the Nazis even targeted people who, when asked, would not say or do anything that praised Hitler.

All were sent to concentration camps. I believe all are equal, and I do not support Hitler's ideas. Everything I said was derived from his ideas, not mine.

I hope this helps

During the Holocaust many groups were targeted, but the majority of the victims were that of Jewish religion and heritage. The Jewish public was forced into camps and made to work under horrible conditions, most died from a lack of food and disease that rocked the small rooms that the victims lived in- then there was also the gas chambers and guards shooting people.

I hope this helped a little!
