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.

Explanation:
It'd be rather difficult to accurately summarizes this due to possible conflicting definitions of just that.
This is why I'll supply everything you need! :)
1. MAIN POINT: The main point of this paragraph, from MY interpretation, is that it's more rewarding to write for a generalized audience, AKA all readers, rather than narrowing in on a specific targeted audience hoping to reap the rewards.
2. EVIDENCE: I make this conclusion because of key phrases and literary techniques riddled throughout the paragraph.
<u><em>One old lady who wants her heart lifted up wouldn't be so bad, but you multiply her two hundred and fifty thousand times and what you get is a book club. . . I have found that though you may publish your stories in Botteghe Oscure, they are any good at all, you are eventually going to get a letter from some old lady in California. . . telling you where you have failed to meet his needs </em></u>(O'Conner, Some Aspects of the Grotesque in Southern Fiction).
3: INTERPRETATION & EVIDENCE: From the passage and the given situation, it's stated that trying to write for some form of elite group, like those who attend places like Harvard or Yale, will oftentimes limit you in various ways, assuming your work is even considered good. Those supposed <em>elites </em>make up a tiiiiny, insignificant percentage of readers. HOWEVER, you have nice old biddies and tired readers as a vast and overwhelming percentage of readers, and many of them will view your work, assuming it's aimed for the smaller percentage, as underwhelming. This will undoubtedly limit your audience and opportunities.
4. SUMMARY: If I were to summarize this, it'd be similar to what I've stated already, but you may use this as a guideline here:
The paragraph from "Some Aspects of the Grotesque in Southern Fiction" by Flannery O'Conner creates an extended hypothetical to highlight the importance of writing for a majority percentage of audiences to increase the scope and magnitude of your work while increasing your opportunities, a stark contrast to the self-inflicted limitations brought/inflicted upon oneself by attempting to narrow their target audience to a specific, smaller minority. In this passage, this premise is delineated by highlighting the appeal behind reaching the average reader rather than a supposed elitist.
