two are: political and violent/habitual criminals, but there were more than two, there was about eight main categories, with each having at least three sub categories.

The wearing of triangles and armbands was employed for easy identification, but of course this was not exhaustive.

Those who could work and those who looked like they couldn't (mostly women and children) In the end, everyone was suppose to die, from starvation, dehydration, overwork, attempt to escape, etc. Those who looked like they couldn't work were killed instantly. The other group was put to work.
