Because they might not have been weaker. Nature is pretty impartial when weeding out those not up to snuff for their particular environments. Human beings have a tendency to let personal prejudices decide who and who is not "fit"

I see. So does the evolutionary process apply to human beings or not?

(and the fit usually end up being people who are the most similar to the one making the decision -- regardless of whatever genetic baggage that might entail).

The evolutionary process doesn't apply to human beings because we interfere with the process by misinterpreting the people who are most fit for survival? But I thought the survivors are the most fit, by definition?

They do, which is tangential to the subject of whether Nazi genocide was good for the species.
