Question:

Holocaust Question?

I've always kind of wondered this, and maybe its because I don't really understand what Hitler was trying to accomplish by building the Master Race, but what would have happened to my family had we lived in Germany or some Nazi occupied country during the Holocaust? We are not Jewish, we are Christian, but we don't have blonde hair and blue eyes. I have curly, dark brown hair, and gray eyes. The rest of my family has the same hair and either gray or brown eyes. Would we have been spared because we weren't Jewish, or would we have been perecuted because we did not fit the appearance of the member of the Aryan Race? I guess what I'm trying to ask is did Hitler persecute people because of appearance or beliefs? I hope my question makes sense and doesn't offend anyone, its a serious question. Thank you.

I know very well that not all Nazis have blonde hair and blue eyes, but I guess I did not state my question clearly. So here it is again. Did Hitler want a master race of people who looked similar or had similar beliefs?
