Nazis’ idea for murdering Jews, gypsies, and other groups would support them purify the German race. Their racial ideology was the reason why they did those brutal actions.
EXPLANATION:
There are some facts about this racism and Nazi racial ideology:
• Racism, comprising racial antisemitism, was an essential part of German National Socialism (Nazism). Germany and other northern Europeans were "Aryans,” thus, they were considered a superior race. All other nationalities were measured as inferior races, and were classified hierarchically based on how similar their ethnics were to "Aryans".
The Jews were seen as contrasting enemies, and thus deadly enemies of Aryan. The Nazis regarded all human history as a biologically firm struggle between people of varied races. The Nazis thought that political movements such as Communism, Marxism, and Democracy were anti-nationalist and seen as the racial and dangerous Jewish "spirit" that had to be eliminated.
• When the Nazis took down the power in Germany in 1933, they wanted to exert an influence on their racial theories, comprising the proclamation in 1935 of the offensive Nuremberg Law.
Later on, the Nazis started the "Lebensborn" (Lifespring) program planned to raise "Aryan" children by extramarital relations with people categorized as "racially pure and healthy" based on Nazi’s racial cleanliness and health ideology. Lebensborn urged anonymous baby by unmarried women, and arbitrated the adoption of these children by parents who were also "purely racial and healthy".
• During World War II, Nazi doctors did false medical experiments that needed to identify physical proof of "non-Aryan" inferiority and "Aryan" superiority. In spite of murdering many non-Jews in these experiments, the Nazis were unable to find proof for their theories of racially-settled disparities among humans in moral, intellectual, and other qualities.
• Nazi racists thought the mentally ill and physically disabled people as flaws in the genetic landscape of the so-called master race and believed that if the disabled were allowed to reproduce, they would be a biological hazard to the cleanliness of the "Aryan" race. As a result, in late 1939 the Nazis began the experiment with poison gas for mass murder called 'mercy killings'—which is later known as the 'Euthanasia Program'—for disabled people.
• During World War II, the Nazi leadership also stimulated a policy of 'racial purification' (so-called 'ethnic cleansing') in the eastern territories conquered by German in Poland and the Soviet Union. This policy needed physically eradicating 'non-Aryan' people from their lands, or slaughter them, and restoring these lands with ''Aryans''. Nazi racial ideology was operated to justify the dislocation of whole communities from their homes and murders on an extraordinary scale.
