Der Untermensch

[Wrigley]

In our Holocaust exhibit, we have a 1942 copy of "Der Untermensch," or "The Subhuman." When I did research, I found that this was one of the most infamous and gruesome anti-Semitic, anti-Russian pieces of Nazi propaganda. During the de-Nazification of Germany, every copy that was found was burned. I also found that there was an earlier propaganda piece from the 1930s also entitled "Der Untermensch," which was anti-Semitic as well. I was wondering which one was the piece that the Allies tried to destroy every copy? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The publication that was specifically targeted for destruction by the Allies after the war's end, was the 1942 52 page magazine type. It measured a large 10 x 13-1/4 inches in size and was almost completely filled with photographs.

Thanks for the help. I thought that this might be the one, but I wanted to be certain. I appreciate the help.
