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, Ukrainians, Russians and Serbs).
