Untermenschen: A History of Targeting Others for Inequality, Hatred and Suffering
These scenes which are occurring throughout America and Europe today are scarily familiar to similar scenes in America and Europe in the 1930s when the Nazis and their allies identified certain populations as Untermenschen, or less than human, and marked them for enslavement and/or elimination. It also is similar to scenes leading up to the pogroms that occurred in various countries in Europe for centuries.

Untermenschen: Eine Geschichte der gezielten Bekämpfung von Ungleichheit, Hass und Leid gegenüber anderen (German Edition)
HUNDERTE MARSCHIEREN BEI FACKELZUGEN UND VERURTEILEN JUDEN! NICHT-STAATSBÜRGER WERDEN ALS UNGEZIEFER VERLEUMDET! KRANKE UND BEHINDERTE WERDEN VERSCHMÄHT!
Diese Szenen, die sich heute überall in Amerika und Europa abspielen, erinnern erschreckend an ähnliche Szenen in den 1930er-Jahren, als die Nazis und ihre Verbündeten bestimmte Bevölkerungsgruppen als Untermenschen - also als weniger als menschlich - identifizierten und sie zur Versklavung und/oder Vernichtung markierten. Es erinnert auch an Szenen, die den Pogromen vorausgingen, die über Jahrhunderte in verschiedenen Ländern Europas stattfanden.

A regiment of well-armed Mohawk Indians descended from Canada the night of May 13, 1974, repossessing 612-acres of Adirondack wildness to which they claimed aboriginal rights. For three long years, an occasionally violent and perpetually tense standoff between the “radicalized” or “traditionalized” Mohawk, local residents and the New York State Police festered like a ticking time bomb until future Governor Mario M. Cuomo negotiated a precariously balanced truce.
