The Holocaust is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
Most exterminated was Jewish, but had too militant communists, homosexuals, gypsies, Slavs, the handicapped, mentally handicapped, Soviet prisoners of war, members of the intellectual elite Polish, Russian and other East European countries, and political activists , Jehovah's Witnesses, some Catholic priests and trade unionists, psychiatric patients and criminals.
Adolf Hitler protected the Aryan race, were a basically be near a German common (in his view) white, hair and eyes clear, Catholic and with a mind divested as his.
But it is all because of race? Maybe the Jews were targets because they are smart and therefore have more success in trade etc ...
