Description

A booklet titled, "Der Untermensch." Cover includes title in red, and black and white photograph of a man in close-up, with people in uniform holding guns behind him.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Untermensch is one of the most revolting pieces of antisemitic and anti-Bolshevist racist literature, 50 pages of photos presenting Jews, Slavs, Bolshevists, etc., as morally degenerate, uncivilized, subhuman monsters, consistent with Hitler’s and Himmler’s belief in the necessity of the war of man against the subhuman and ultimately rationalizing Nazi genocidal policies in the East.
