Correct me if I'm wrong. He killed a lot of jews, italians, polish and so on and so forth when he invaded those countries. He had even plans to overtake the world and kill everyone else. So why are the other races who were killed by hitler don't get any attention except the jewish people?

The Third Reich set out to create a utopian Germany, a nation where all non-Aryan "impurities" were to be at first driven out then exterminated.

Although many other groups were the victims of Nazi atrocities, the Jews were targeted most vehemently. Shortly after the rise of the Third Reich, Jews were legally defined, legally and economically stifled, and eventually segregated into ghettos (state-defined Jewish communities).

Such effort was not put into persecuting non-Jewish "impurities." However, the crimes against humanity inflicted on non-Jewish victims should not be discounted.

Also, of course, Jews were the target of the "Final Solution," as the Nazi government set out to predominantly rid a newly-expanding Germany of the "Jewish problem." Jews were the primary victims of the Holocaust, and a greater number of Jewish victims were exterminated than non-Jews.

Because his main focus was on the Jewish people in Germany. He made them the repository of ALL the troubles that had befallen Germany and while he did want to be rid of the rest oas well, it was the Jewish that he had a particular agenda toward and in all likely hood his efforts agains non-Jews was as much to show the rest that he would, eventually be coming for them as well, but I do think that he would have been perfectly satisfied if he had managed to eradicate the Jewish people in their enitrety and would probably had not made much effort toward anyone esle after wards. NO one is really certain why he had such pointed and direct personal displeasure with their existance. Some have theorized that it had been a Jew that refused his admission to Art College, others have bup forth the notin that an ancestor of his was Jewish and it was the ultimate in self loathing that drove hime to be so aggressive toward them, destroying in them what he hated in himslef.

BUT...it was the unusually direct focus that he put on the Jewish peeople, and the fact that the majority of people killed in the camps and during the invasions were Jewish (one set of figures said that for ever person killed that was not Jewish, that something like 10 or 20 Jews were killed on average) that has made them sort of the symbolic poster children for the attrocities of the Nazi party.

True, but he was most outspoken and unrepentedly against Jews. He was starting with the Jewish people and would have eventually done to every non German race what he did to Jews...its just he got to Jews first and that is what makes it so notorious. The fact that there were fewer Jews than another population he tormented means he nearly succeeded in the genocide of a particular race...which ever race that would have been, that group of people would have received a great deal of notoriaty...Jews especially became known as many religous people still see Jews as "God's Chosen People". In the eyes of many religious people...Hitler attacked God's annointed...even many non Jews believe that.

I don't know if you have all of your facts right. I lived in the Navajo Nation and they understood the intent of Hitler to destroy other people besides Jews including all Native Americans. In fact, one of the Navajo signs was shaped like the swastica so they completely eliminated their sign from their traditions because it looked like it. I hope we can appreciate that OTHERS DO KNOW what his intentions were. However we must also appreciate that Hitlers first target was the Jews. I'm not sure if you are asking why we sometimes only talk about the death of Jews, but we also understand that was NOT his only target as evidence by the Navajo Nation droping their traditional sign.

different than for Jews, the third Reich concentrated Germans from quite a few religions, alongside with, as replaced into reported above, Jehovah Witnesses. however, the justifications why those communities have been the objective of Nazi atrocity had no longer something to do with faith, consistent with se. interior the case of Jehovah Witnesses, the Nazi government under pressure and/or placed them into concentration camps by using fact they does no longer swear allegiance to the Hitler and the third Reich (as they do no longer swear). there have been many Jehovah Witnesses that have been martyred in this dark time. Technically speaking, absolutely everyone or team no longer agreeing (publicly and vocally) with the nationwide Socialist government have been objectives for harassment and/or containment in concentration camps (or worse, as quickly as the 2nd international conflict began). however, those communities weren't concentrated with the comparable zeal and tenacity as replaced into obtrusive interior the "very final answer." Please be conscious, however, that Hitler did no longer kill communities of people like Jews, Jehovah Witnesses, or Gypsies. Any of the persons ending up such atrocities did so of their very own loose will. curiously, too, there is no historic data (no "smoking gun") from Hitler ordering genocide. this shouldn't, however, detract from the horror and wickedness spawned via Nazism for the duration of the rule of thumb of the third Reich. @Stone ok - The movie you're thinking of is "The 9th Day" (2004). The German identify is "Der Neunte Tag." incredible movie.

Your history is quite wrong.
The italians were allies of the germans for most of WW2. The people to the East of Germany such as the Poles and Russians he considered untermensch or inferior and he planned to use them as slave labor rather than exterminate them rather as the Americans had used black people.
There were certainly some groups which he wished to exterminate. These included Communists, Social Democrats, Homosexuals, mentally disabled people, Gypsies and Jews.
And you are quite right to say that the Jews get the most attention probably because they have the best organisation in terms of media coverage.

He even went to the extend of drawing up a list of Jew's features in order to round up all the Jews! Most of the Jews were killed except for some pathetic thousands who manage to escape and his reasons for killing them is just so lame!

They do, we all know he killed the polish, autrian, I tais, and gypsies but it wasnt in the numbers that he killed the jews. We're talking ****** millions dude. When a race of ppl get cleansed like that of course theres going to be huge coverage(in western civilization). The things you should be bitching about is in 3rd world countries wheres theres ethnic cleansing all the time and nobody bats a eyelash at that. And theres millions getting killed today, how can it still go on

The "Final Solution" was designed primarily for the Jewish people but also included gypsies, political enemies, communists, French resistance fighters, homosexuals, etc. The largest majority of the concentration camps inmates were Jewish.
