"Undermenschen", or in english "undesirables." Jews, Gypsies, Serbs, Gays, Handicapped, Retarded, etc. About anyone that resisted Germany or was physically, mentally, or spiritually warped according to Nazis. They thought eliminating was right.
____________________________
There was a reason for each group:
Because they were part of a 'lower' race the Slavs were targeted.
Because of their religion (and therefore dubious loyalty) Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses were targeted.
The disabled (both mental and physical) were targeted because they could not benefit the state.
Homosexuals and paedophiles were targeted because they were seen a perverted.
Communists and trade unionists because they spread dangerous thoughts.
Habitual criminals and homeless because they were anti social.
Gypsies were targeted because Himmler thought that they held the key to life.

Why were the jews gypies jehovas witnesses incureables homosexuals political dissidents soviet prisoners of war and communist liberals targeted during the holocaust?
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.
