Question

Who were considered as inferior and undesirable by Nazi Germany?
A. Jews
B. Gypsies and blacks
C. Russians and poles
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint:The obvious undesirable community was the Jewish population. Other less thought of undesirables were the Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, blacks, the physically and mentally disabled, political opponents of the Nazis, including Communists and Social Democrats, dissenting clergy, resistance fighters, prisoners of war, Slavic peoples, and many individuals from the artistic communities whose opinions and works Hitler condemned.

Complete answer:
Jews - In April 1933, the Nazis initially boycotted Jewish firms for one day. Legislation then excluded Jews from certain occupations. Very detailed Nazi descriptions of who was Jewish were established by the Nuremberg Laws. Suddenly, many individuals who never considered themselves Jewish became objects of Nazi persecution.

The world open to German Jews was narrowing. Jews were no longer permitted to enter theatres, cinemas, swimming pools, and resorts. Jewish newspaper publication was halted. To carry identification cards and to wear Star of David badges, Jews were required. The Nazis burned synagogues one night and vandalised Jewish firms. The subsequent arrests and murders exacerbated the terror that Jews felt. Next, Jewish children were banned from schools. Curfews limited the time for Jews to move and banned Jews from public places. Germany started expelling Jews from its borders and finally from the concentration and death camps.

Roma (Gypsies) - The Roma, a nomadic people originally from Northwest India claimed to have arrived, consisted of many tribes or nations. The Roma and the Sinti were persecuted for centuries. The persecution was continued by the Nazi regime, seeing the Roma as both asocial and racially inferior to Germans.

The Nazis had an extreme form of German racism that was much more common. Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs, in that order, were the targets. Both of the first two, and even those Slavs who were not useful as subordinate citizens, were out to kill. Also targeted were gays, and if it was considered genetic, the chronically ill.

So the correct answer is option D.

Note:Those they called sub-humans were divided into various types by the Nazis; they prioritised the extermination of the Jews and the slavery of others as slaves.
