As the Jews were the main targets of Nazi genocide, the victims of the killing centers were overwhelmingly Jewish. In the hundreds of forced-labor and concentration camps not equipped with gassing facilities, however, other individuals from a broad range of backgrounds could also be found. Prisoners were required to wear color-coded triangles on their jackets so that the guards and officers of the camps could easily identify each person's background and pit the different groups against each other. Political prisoners, such as Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists wore red triangles. Common criminals wore green. Roma (Gypsies) and others the Germans considered "asocial" or "shiftless" wore black triangles. Jehovah's Witnesses wore purple and homosexuals pink. Letters indicated nationality: for example, P stood for Polish, SU for Soviet Union, F for French.
Captured Soviet soldiers worked as forced laborers, and many of these prisoners of war died because they were executed or badly mistreated by the Germans. In all, over three million died at the hands of the Germans.
Twenty-three thousand German and Austrian Roma (Gypsies) were inmates of Auschwitz, and about 20,000 of these were killed there. Romani (Gypsy) men, women, and children were confined together in a separate camp. On the night of August 2, 1944, a large group of Roma was gassed in the destruction of the "Gypsy family camp." Nearly 3,000 Roma were murdered, including most of the women and children. Some of the men were sent to forced-labor camps in Germany where many died. Altogether, hundreds of thousands of Roma from all over German-occupied Europe were murdered in camps and by mobile killing squads.
Political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals were sent to concentration camps as punishment. Members of these three groups were not targeted, as were Jews and Roma, for systematic murder. Nevertheless, many died in the camps from starvation, disease, exhaustion, and brutal treatment.

nouns and pronouns in the subjective case are italicized. A noun in the subjective case is often the subject of a verb. For example: "The tree fell on my car", "the tree" is in the nominative case because it's the subject of the verb "fell".
please give brainliest i spent so long on this lol.
Explanation:
The movie Unbroken, based on the life and imprisonment of WWII soldier Louis Zamperini, closely parallels the themes seen in the book <em>Night </em>by Elie Wiesel. Both storylines are based on personal, true events of the narrator, with the movie portraying the harrowing details of a World War II soldier through a young actor's body. Both share themes of courage, perseverance, and through a first-person point of view, these pieces of art are able to put a lens up to the past. In the movie <em>Unbroken</em>, a WWII soldier gets captured and is forced into a Japanese war prisoner camp that tested its prisoners' emotional, mental, and physical strength. In <em>Night </em>by Elie Wiesel, the author shares his experiences as a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz and Nazi concentration camps. Through their experiences and ability to convey this through visual media and material, both pieces share themes of suffering without hope and one's ability to persevere despite the odds against them.
