Who Were the Victims?

Excerpt from Who Were the Victims - U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum:

"The Nazi regime persecuted different groups on ideological grounds. Jews were the primary targets for systematic persecution and mass murder by the Nazis and their collaborators. Nazi policies also led to the brutalization and persecution of millions of others. Nazi policies towards all the victim groups were brutal, but not identical."

Persecuted groups included people with mental and physical disabilities, members of the LGBTQ community, Roma and Sinti people, Jehovah's Witnesses, Polish people, Black people, and many others.
