Which of the following represents the first victims targeted and killed by Hitler?

German elderly and handicapped
The Jews of Germany
Polish citizens
Russia prisoners of war
His political opposition

Explanation

Answer: A - The first groups targeted and killed by Hitler were the German elderly and handicapped citizens. Hitler's anti-Semitism can be found in his earliest speeches, and he put discriminatory laws in place as early as 1935. However, the first group to be killed was composed of German citizens. Hitler deemed that Germany could not be made stronger with the elderly and infirm, so he began the policy of murder that evolved into the Holocaust in German convalescent homes.
