Muslims as Targets

Muslims Murdered at Auschwitz:

In addition to the numerous other groups targeted by the Nazis and killed at Auschwitz, there was another group who were imprisoned at the camp: Muslims. Between late February and early March 1942, dozens of Muslims were arrested and sent to Auschwitz. They were not, however, targeted and imprisoned for being Muslims; rather, they were arrested as Soviet prisoners of war. Regardless, they were among those killed at the camp.
