Answer:

The family unit became a central focus of the regime's strategy to establish this bogus "people's community" as it is a crucial unit. With the help of racial policies, the Nazi regime tried to reshape German families, which caused problems with established roles and connections within families.

The Nazis targeted children in particular. Some, like Jewish children, were singled out because of their race. Others were singled out for biological reasons, such as those who had physical or mental impairments, or because of their alleged political activism or resistance. Nazi leaders and their allies were responsible for the murder or death of as many as 1.5 million Jewish children alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the Nuremberg Race Laws, which forbade Jewish and non-Jewish Germans from getting married and engaging in sexual activity together, the Nazi regime established legal distinctions between Jews and Aryans. Given the belief that Jews posed a threat to the Aryan race's racial solidarity and supremacy, these laws also resulted in the oppression and subsequent genocide of millions of Jews during the Holocaust.
