Nazis thought that murdering Jews, gypsies, and other groups would help them purify the German race. It was because of the racial ideology that made them think that way.

EXPLANATION:

There are some facts about this racism and Nazi racial ideology:

•Racism, comprising racial antisemitism (hatred of or prejudice against Jews according to false biological theories), was an essential part of German National Socialism (Nazism). Based on Nazi race theories, “Aryans” (a superior race) were Germany and other northern Europeans.  

Other nationalities were considered inferior races, and were graded hierarchically based on how similar they were to "Aryans". The Jews were seen as opposing enemies, and therefore deadly Aryan enemies. The Nazis viewed all human history as a biologically resolute struggle between people of different races. The Nazis assumed that political movements such as Communism, Marxism, and Democracy were anti-nationalist and displayed the racial and dangerous Jewish "spirit" that had to be eradicated.

•When the Nazis took power in Germany in 1933, they sought to exert an effect on their racial theories in some ways, comprising the proclamation in 1935 of the abominable Nuremberg Law.  

In the same year, the Nazis started the "Lebensborn" (Lifespring) program intended to raising "Aryan" children through extramarital relations with people categorized as " racially pure and healthy" based on Nazi’s racial cleanliness and health ideology. Lebensborn urged anonymous births by unmarried women, and arbitrated the adoption of these children by parents who were also "purely racial and healthy".

•During World War II, Nazi doctors conducted false medical experiments that sought to identify physical proof of "non-Aryan" inferiority and "Aryan" superiority. In spite of killing many non-Jews in these experiments, the Nazis were unable to find evidence for their theories of racially-settled differences among humans in moral, intellectual, and other qualities.

•Nazi racists considered the mentally ill and physically disabled people as defects in the genetic landscape of the so-called master race and believed that if the disabled were allowed to reproduce, they would be a biological danger to the cleanliness of the "Aryan" race. As a result, in late 1939 the Nazis started the experiment with poison gas for the mass murder called 'mercy killings'—which is subtly known as the 'Euthanasia Program'—for disabled people.

•During World War II, the Nazi leadership also prompted a policy of 'racial purification' (a more modern term is 'ethnic cleansing') in the eastern territories occupied by German in Poland and the Soviet Union. This policy required physically removing 'non-Aryan' people from their lands, or killing them, and replacing these lands with ''Aryans''. Nazi racial ideology was utilized to justify the dislocation of entire communities from their homes and killings on an unprecedented scale.
