From the timeline, I saw that a large amount of non-Jewish groups were also targeted by the Germans. Hitler abused his power to limit actions of everyone, which seems to make sense and not rouse suspicion. By the time he has enough moral support to complete immoral deeds, he already limits the Jewish to the point that they cannot do much with their lives. As for other groups, especially gypsies, their attacks started later and were not as bad, but they did have to live in ghettos for an extended period of time.
