It is good that you ask this question - since many people here who have not learned much about the Second World War are under the same false impression that you are. Hitler, the Nazis, and the German people DID "go after" people other than the Jews. In fact, the people who sufffered the most from the German persecution were the Russians. Russian P.O.W.s, German anti-Fascists, Communists, homosexuals, Gypsies, Jews, and the mentally retarded all faced Nazi persecution.
The false impression one could get from not learning about World War 2 is that Hitler, the Nazis, and the German people were only fighting a race war - when in fact it was a political war: Germany's National Socialism vs. Russia's Bolshevism, and the Western Democracies. The Jewish people in Europe outnumbered the brown people and the black people, and anti-Semitism had been around for a long time. In the eyes of Hitler, the Nazis, and the German people - the Jews were the scapegoats who controlled the economy and were behind European Bolshevism.
I think there are more people who are unaware of the extent of Nazi political persecution in Germany and Europe from 1933 - 1945 than there are who hate Jews because of Hitler.
