By total numbers, the Jews. By percentage, probably the Gypsies.
The largest group was the Jews. They were targeted for total and speedy elimination and about 6 million were slaughtered.
the Jewish people, and hopefully the consionces of those who kenw what was going on and didnt stop it
6 million Jews. around 9- 12 milion Poles and Soviets
There's been several genocides, and multiple victims. You have to tell which one you're thinking of to get an answer.
The Jews
By 1939-1940 the SS had become a kind of business (as well as a branch of the terror apparatus and the German army). There was no budget for the Holocaust and it was paid for by the victims, by: # Hiring out slave labourers to private companies. # Selling the victims' possessions.
* Yes. The Nazis treated the Jews as a race, not a religion, so many of the victims of the Holocaust, especially from Western and Central Europe, were not practicising Jews. * The Nazis also slaughtered Soviet 'political commissars' whom they took prisoners. These were Marxist-Leninists (Communists). The Nazis also killed other Soviet prisoners of war.
There was no budget for the Holocaust and the victims had to pay for their own sufferings and their death. In 1939-40 the SS became in part a vast business entreprise. The Holocaust was financed by slave labour hired out (under SS discipline) to private entreprise. About 2,000 (!) German corporations used SS slave labour ... In addition, the victims' assets and personal possessions were seized by the SS and stolen. In all, the SS made money from the Holocaust. According to the Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg, the Nazis made more from Jewish slave labour than from seized assets.
Nazis are not gay; in fact, the Nazis murdered tens of thousands of gay people in concentration and death camps.
Because the Jewish people were the ones targeted, persecuted and murdered by the Nazis during the holocaust. Hitler declared his disdain for the jews, therefore his army, under his orders, slaughtered them by the millions. There were only a few of Hitler's soldiers that secretly despised what Hitler was doing and what he stood for, but the majority of Hitler's army took a perverted pleasure in the torture, mutilation, and murder of millions of innocent people just because they were Jewish. No other people (that I know of) were targeted by the Nazis like the Jewish people were. It made no difference to them if they killed infants and children, women or men.
Most were murdered by the Nazis.
It is not. It is related to how the Nazis treated people with disabilities. The way that the Nazis murdered disbled people was used in many of the camps in the Holocaust.
The were no Holocaust victims or survivors on board the Wilhelm Gustloff. The Nazis did not try to transport Jews to safety.
Jews were the largest victims of the Holocaust with 7 out of 10 Jews in Europe being murdered during the holocaust. Jews were discriminated against because they were not considered racially pure or part of the Aryan Race (ideally blonde haired blue eyes). And Hitler used propaganda against the Jews blaming the whole of world war one on the Jews, this brainwashed Nazis.
The main victims were Jews from all the nations invaded by the Nazis.
The most infamous were in Poland. The ones in Germany were mainly for civil matters, of the other victims of the Nazis, rather than the Holocaust.
About 6 million out of 9.4 European Jews were murdered by the Nazis.
Almost six million during the Holocaust, which is really sad... :(

Fascism was the ideology that played a pivotal role in the rise of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the systematic genocide carried out by the Nazis, in which approximately six million Jews were murdered, along with millions of other victims, including Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents. The fascist ideology of the Nazis, characterized by extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, and racial purity, laid the groundwork for the dehumanization, persecution, and ultimately the extermination of targeted groups during the Holocaust.
The Ustasi were Croatian Nazis and they ran their own camps and carried out their very own Croatian holocaust. The best known and biggest Ustasi (Croatian Nazi) camp was Jasenovac, where many victims were murdered with blunt instruments, such as cudgels.
The Nazis believed that they were the master race, and that no one else was equal to them. They also blamed the loss of territory in World War 1 was the Jews fault so they cold bloodily murdered them in the Holocaust.
