As antisemitism and extremist ideologies continue to re-emerge globally, Untermenschen arrives as both a warning and a call to remembrance. The term “untermenschen,” meaning “subhuman,” was infamously used by the Nazis to justify the systemic persecution and extermination of millions. Through deeply researched historical accounts, personal testimonies from Holocaust survivors, and connections to contemporary events, the book explores how hate-fueled ideologies take root—and how society must remain vigilant to prevent their return.
A Book of Urgency and Impact
The book opens with a chilling reflection on January 6, 2021, when Holocaust survivor Hanne Liebmann recognized the echoes of 1930s Germany in the Capitol insurrection. From that moment, Flug and Grumet weave a compelling tapestry of historical evidence, survivor narratives, and modern-day parallels to underscore how hatred—left unchecked—can threaten the very foundation of democracy.
The chapters dive into themes such as the myth of the American melting pot, the influence of eugenics on U.S. and Nazi policies, antisemitism across various countries, and the enduring relevance of survivor stories. From detailed accounts of Nazi propaganda to harrowing recollections of Holocaust victims and resistance fighters, Untermenschen educates, confronts, and calls for active remembrance.
Acclaim and Success in Germany
The release of Untermenschen in Germany has been met with overwhelming demand. German readers, educators, and historians have praised the book’s courageous approach to connecting past atrocities with present-day issues. As debates around extremism, nationalism, and Holocaust remembrance intensify across Europe, Untermenschen has struck a powerful chord.
Prominent German bookstores have reported strong sales, with the German-language edition now featured prominently in educational and historical literature sections. Teachers, librarians, and students have embraced it as an indispensable tool for understanding historical cycles of hate and the importance of confronting them head-on.
