Everyone that wasn't a Christian Aryan like he thought himself to be was a target (he was certainly Christian (at least if you think that a member of the Roman Catholic Church is a Christian) but he wasn't Aryan).
The Roma, gays, the disabled and handicapped, anyone who seemed to be a communist, atheists, those who opposed the Nazi's (including quite a few Christians that disagreed with him or that simply refused to serve anyone (or anyone worldly as they'd say) such as the Jehovah's Witnesses).
The other holocaust that was going on in Croatia was targeted mainly at Orthodox Christians and run by Catholics.
He probably would have targeted the real Aryans had they been in his territory in significant numbers.

Besides the Jews, these were the groups targetted:
-Asocials
-Criminals
-Homosexuals
-Catholics
-Gypsies/Transients
-Africans (aka the Rhineland Bastards)
-POWs
basically though, anyone that Hitler felt threatened by, he persecuted them.
you might want to check out the United States Holocaust Memorial Website - great info!

Various groups were targeted- as my 8th grade English teacher put it, pretty much if you weren't a blonde, blue-eyed Protestant you were targeted (but this is a generalization).
Jews, gay people, gypsies, and the handicapped were the main targets.
6 million Jews were killed, and 6 million gentiles.

utilising the be conscious 'enemies' isn't good, considering that those communities had no objective of destroying the German/Nazi state - those communities weren't struggling with every physique different than on a small scale on activities in self maintenance. extremely those communities have been focused to be downtrodden and destroyed by utilising the Nazis.

gypsies, anyone who was not Aryan, disabled people, anyone who was not 'perfect' in his view of what the perfect (Aryan) person should be.
