Which group was notably targeted by the Nazis during their regime?

The Nazis, under Adolf Hitler's regime, implemented a systematic campaign of persecution and extermination aimed specifically at Jews. This group was targeted for several reasons rooted in longstanding anti-Semitic beliefs, which portrayed Jews as racially inferior and blamed them for various social and economic problems facing Germany. The culmination of this ideology led to the Holocaust, during which six million Jews were murdered in an effort to eradicate Jewish culture and community from Europe.

The Nazis established ghettos, concentration camps, and extermination camps specifically to carry out this genocide, alongside other violent measures. While other groups including Romani people, disabled individuals, homosexuals, and political dissidents also faced severe persecution and violence during the Nazi regime, the scale and systematic nature of the genocide against Jews marked them as the most notably targeted group in this dark chapter of history.
