Were people of color killed during the holocaust or was it only jews?

Question

Im doing an essay on the holocaust.

By people of color i mean will they kill blacks, asians, hispanics, indians, muslims,etc. If hitler had the chance to? beacuse i heard u had to have white skin,blonde, blue eyed and non jewish.even though almost everyone in europe is white..im talking about IF they lived there...

Answer 1

non-aryans were the targets, (aryans have blonde hair and blue eyes (both of which are recessive genes) and hitler himself was to be 'last on the list'

blacks would have been on the list, as well as orients, indians, etc... but the campaign didn't go as planned by hitler

jews were much more common place in germany, so they were a first target, as well as 'gypsies' (vagabond egyptians)

Answer 2

At the time in Europe there was not a significant number of different ethnicities living in Europe, other than the indigenous ones. The primary target of the Holocaust was the Jews, but Gypsies were also targeted to a lesser degree. Eventually I'm sure the program would have been expanded to include most of the slavic people and the many ethnic groups of the USSR.

Answer 3

During the holocaust the people who suffered most where the Jews that's why most people only know about them but Hitler also targeted blacks and gays its hard to believe but true during the holocaust (ww2) there was more people killed than any other war the reason the others are not mentioned as much is because not as many died

Answer 4

I know gypsies and quite a few Gays were killed. In fact that is where the "Pink Triangle" came from that Gay's use as a symbol. Anyone who was Gay are thought to be were required to wear a pink triangle on their clothing just as the Jews had to wear the yellow star of David. As far as any other's I'm not quite sure. I doubt is those countries had a large population of Blacks, Asians and Latinos.

Sorry if this wasn't much help.

Answer 5

In addition to Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, mentally handicapped and insane people, and those who demonstrated resistance to the Nazi regime were killed. Very few people who were not considered white were living in Germany and Austria at the time, so fewer people of those groups were killed.

The Nazis also killed a lot of people in Russia and the Ukraine. If you do an Internet search on the Nazi regime in the Ukraine, especailly in places in and around Kiev, you might learn more on the subject matter.

Answer 6

jews, jypsies, and comunists were the main target of the holocoust, however jews took most of the sufferage.some colors may have been killed but im nut sure if there was any sort of race. my educated guess is yes, as to the fact that adolf hitler thought that the super race was people who were,:white Chris beliving (catrholic), blonde and blue eyed.

Answer 7

Primarily Jews, but of course the gypsies, those labeled insane, homosexuals, and anyone different from the "aryan" race Hitler was trying to create and spread.

Answer 8

Yeah, also Jehovah's Witnesses were sought after and killed. People only mention Jews but they don't realize how many other people were also killed.
Handicapped, you had to have blue eyes, with blond hair and light skin...
Isn't that sad?? :(

Answer 9

Asians were fighting on the same side as the Nazis. The Japanese were considered an Eastern branch of the master race.
Blacks weren't killed, they were put in cages in the Berlin zoo like wild animals. Germans would pay to see them in their natural environment: part of the zoo made up to resemble an African village.

Answer 10

Jews were the majority, but anyone who was disabled or "insane" or gypsy, too, but I'm not sure about "people of color".
