Answer 1

Answer:

1. The other group that were persecuted besides the Jewish people, were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals. Women and children and African Americans were also persecuted but in different ways than the different Ethnic groups.  There were many people persecuted in the Holocaust, Hitler’s hatred for the Jews made them the most persecuted but his goal was to create a perfect race and if you didn’t fit his description then you could possibly be persecuted.
