Worth quoting the meaning and within it, the race card:
Untermensch (German pronunciation:
[ˈʔʊntɐˌmɛnʃ] ⓘ;
plural:
Untermenschen) is a
German language word literally meaning 'underman', 'sub-man', or '
subhuman', which was extensively used by Germany's
Nazi Party to refer to their opponents and 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,
Russians and
Serbs).
[2][3]
The term was also applied to "
Mischling" (persons of
mixed "Aryan" and non-Aryan ancestry) and
black people.
[4] Jewish, Slavic, and Romani people, along with the
physically and
mentally disabled, as well as
homosexuals and
political dissidents, and, on rare instances,
POWs from Western
Allied armies, were considered
Untermenschen who were to be
exterminated[5] in
the Holocaust.
[6][7] According to the
Generalplan Ost, the Slavic population of
East-Central Europe was to be reduced in part through
mass murder in the Holocaust for
Lebensraum, with a significant amount expelled further east to
Siberia and used as
forced labour in the Reich. These concepts were an important part of the
Nazi racial policy.
