Short answer: Jews, 'gypsies' (Romanies and Sinti), Soviet prisoners of war, Communists, liberals, other political dissidents, incurables, Jehovah's Witnesses and homosexuals.
When used by professional historians the term the Holocaust generally refers specifically to the genocide of the Jews.

Although the Jews were targeted by Nazis, there were many others who are often overlooked. The Nazis wanted 'Lebensraum' (meaning 'living space') to the east, so each of the eastern countries bordering Germany was targeted (at least for enslavement). The Polish people were among the victims of the Nazi extermination, referred to in this 22 August 1939 speech excerpt from Adolf Hitler to Reichmarshal Hermann Goering and the commanding generals at Obersalzberg:
"Our strength consists in our speed and in our brutality. Genghis Khan led millions of women and children to slaughter - with premeditation and a happy heart. History sees in him solely the founder of a state. It's a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me.
I have issued the command - and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad - that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness - for the present only in the East - with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

There were a lot of groups targeted by the Nazis in WW2 but here are the groups with the most deaths:Jews (over 6,000,000 killed)Poles (approx. 5.5 - 5.9 million and of these about 2.9 million Jews killed)Handicapped people were (200,000 - 250,000 killed)Roma Gypsies (approx. 220,000 dead)Hope it helps.
There were many other groups that had people killed by Hitler and the Nazis, but the Holocaust was the specific actions against the Jews, therefore there were no other groups killed in the Holocaust. The only other group which suffered similar persecution to the Jews was the gypsies.
In the context of World War 2 resistance groups resisted the Nazis.

I assume you mean socially awkward. There are no records of the number of "a-social" people killed by the Nazis. After all, there are no groups to speak on their behalf.
