who were the targeted victims during holocaust?

Question

i want to know who and why

Answer 1

Gays weren't targeted during the holocaust.

You have to distinguish between concentration camps (where life was indeed difficult and where some prisoners indeed died), and extermination camps which were "murder factories" : you were entering the extermination camp by the door only to go out as chimneys smoke.
You had no extermination camps in Germany, but only in Poland. In Germany, there were only concentration camps.

Gays were not going to extermination camps, they had a status similar to that of thieves, and they were in concentration camps only, lots of them died, but in the same proportion as thieves died in concentration camps. Not on purpose to "kill gays".

So who were actually the targeted people ?
Those were the jews and gipsies based upon racial pseudo-scientific considerations. I believe all this scientific theories were just a rationalization for antisemitism that is a long story in all Europe.
I call rationalization an ideology fabricated to give allowance to feelings. Antisemitic feelings came first, and afterward reasons came to support those feelings, to give those feelings the needed legitimacy.
You can see the same story nowadays with anti-zionism which is the new "politically correct" version of antisemitism. You can see lots of people being very worried about "human rights" when it comes to palestinians but not caring at all with what may go in Darfur or in Tibet. This very selective empathy is a good example of "rationalization". So don't even try to understand why ... Antisemitism is an old story wearing new clothes every century...

Answer 2

There is a classic book written about the period called, "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich" by William L. Shirer. You can obtain a copy at any public library or buy a paperback copy in most bookstores or at Amazon.com

If you really want to know about the victims of the Holocaust and discover the reasons why the atrocities of WWII were inflicted on so many millions of people, including Jews, Poles, Slavic people, Catholics and Gypsies, reading the book will provide the information and put the entire history of that era in perspective for you.

Answer 3

Anyone who was a threat, who was different, or who was considered "Non-Arayan" was targeted. Not only Jews, but Gypsies, Poles, homosexuals, and intellectuals were targeted. And the truly strange thing is that Hitler's own true family roots aren't known for sure--he had a family tree created to prove his "pure" Arayan background.

Mainly Jews,as well as others.To get rid of them.Hitler felt threatened by Jews(close to God).So he had them all slottered.He was also prejudgeudice against anything not blond hair,blue eyed.(Germain).So anything dark was a target.He commited suicide,he and his girlfriend/wife/sister in law.He was very sick.Some say the anit-christ.Spirit wise maby.He was VERY hatefull.

The concept of the "Master Race" included the idea that those who were "less" could be used in any way that would help the Fatherland, including extermination.
