    Hitler was fond of the term “untermensch,” which translates to “subhuman”, and was widely used by the Nazis when referring to Jews and other “undesirables” to dehumanize them.

    Untermensch (German pronunciation: [ˈʔʊntɐˌmɛnʃ] ⓘ; plural: Untermenschen) is a German language word literally meaning ‘underman’, ‘sub-man’, or ‘subhuman’, that was extensively used by Germany’s Nazi Party to refer to non-Aryan people they deemed as inferior. It was mainly used against “the masses from the East”, that is Jews, Roma, and Slavs (mainly ethnic Poles, Belarusians, Czechs, Ukrainians, Serbs, and Russians).[2][3]
