Yes, exclusion was a central theme in Nazi ideology. The Nazis sought to create a so-called "national community" that excluded groups they deemed undesirable, such as Jewish people, Roma and Sinti, people with disabilities, and others who did not fit their racial or political vision2. They implemented discriminatory laws, propaganda, and acts of violence to marginalize and remove these groups from society. Their policies of exclusion extended beyond legal discrimination to repression and persecution, particularly in the years leading up to World War II. The Nazi regime systematically stripped targeted groups of their rights, segregated them, and ultimately escalated their exclusion into mass violence and genocide.
