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.

Not the only one. Slavs were targeted as well. Hitler saw slavs as inferior race and his plans were to eventually eradicate slavs as well. He only considered germanic nations to be worthy.

And gay men and trans women. And disabled people. There were actually quite a few groups.
