Final answer:

Besides Jewish people, the Nazi concentration camps also victimized Romani people, homosexuals, disabled individuals, and other groups deemed undesirable by Nazi ideology including political and religious dissidents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The victims of the Nazi concentration camp system extended beyond Jewish individuals. Other groups targeted by the Nazis included Romani people, homosexuals, disabled individuals, and several other groups like political dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses, and ethnic Poles and Soviet citizens. The Nuremberg Laws laid the groundwork for this systemic persecution by institutionalizing Nazi racial theories and discrimination against those who were not considered part of the Aryan race. Consequently, millions suffered and were murdered in the camps, during what is known as the Holocaust, including an estimated six million European Jews.
