In Mein Kampf — and many other letters and documents — Hitler made it perfectly clear that he viewed the Jews as an inferior race that a) was trying to disguise itself as a religion and b) was trying to "annihilate the non-Jewish races."

There were other non-racial groups targeted by the Nazis, including the LGBTQ+ community, gypsies, and people with mental and physical disabilities. But the 6 million Jews that were killed were killed due to Nazi racism.
