Jews
German Jews were targeted by the Nazis, but the majority of Jews murdered were not German. The photograph below shows members of the Robinsohn family on a walk in Germany, 1928. In the late 1930s, the Robinsohn family left Hamburg and emigrated to Britain.
Jews from across Europe: the vast majority, around 97%, of the Jews murdered in the Holocaust were not German. Of the approximately six million Jews who were killed, around two million of them were Polish.
The photograph below shows Eugen and Helene Fürze, a family with Jewish roots, relaxing with their family and friends. It was taken in the 1930s in Susice, Czech Republic.
Eugen emigrated to Britain with his father and son in 1938. His wife Helene stayed with her mother in Prague. In 1942 she was murdered by the Nazis, likely in Majdanek (a concentration and extermination camp in Poland).
Roma
Up to about 500,000 Roma were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators in extermination camps and in mass shooting in Soviet Territories. Roma were considered racially inferior by the Nazis and targeted for murder.
