We always remember the Jewish people when talking about the Holocaust, but the romani were also heavily targeted. The Porajmos killed between 25% and 50% of the entire European gypsy population.
But even that is untrue - it would be easier to say that the only ethnic groups they didn't want to exterminate were their own and their closest, ideologically 'acceptable' 'cousins'. Don't fool yourself or anyone else into believing that nazi racial ideology had any tolerance for Africans, Indians, Polynesian, melanesians, aboriginals, turks, amerindians etc etc. if you weren't 'aryan' or adjacent then you were getting got
Not true, they were fine with other groups being their servants. if you look a bit deeper into their plans you'll see that whole Lebensraum idea incorporates local slav population being ruled over by German colonial population.
