Millones de Otras Víctimas. La búsqueda de una sociead racialmente pura fue la esencia de la filosofía nazi. Junto a los 6 millones de judíos exterminados, otros grupos fueron perseguidos por su supuesta inferioridad racial o por razones políticas, ideológicas, religiosas y físicas: romaníes, polacos, comunistas, Testigos de Jehová, personas con impedimentos y homosexuales, entre otros. En esta sociedad "ideal" no había lugar para individuo alguno que no se ajustara a la estrecha definición de perfección propugnada por el régimen nazi.,
Millions of Other Victims. At the core of the Nazi ideology was a deadly vision of a racially pure society; a vicious form of population planning that eliminated any individual not fitting its narrow definition of perfection. Six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis, but they also targeted other groups because of their perceived racial inferiority: Romanies, Poles, and Soviet prisoners of war, among others. Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, such as communists, socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, the disabled, and homosexuals.
