Germany Must Perish! is the title of a 104-page book written by Theodore Newman Kaufman and self-published in 1941, which advocates the genocide, through sterilization of all Germans, and the territorial dismemberment of Germany. Kaufman founded the Argyle Press of Newark, New Jersey, USA, in order to self-publish his racist sentiments.
The book was most notably used by Nazi Germany as propaganda to allege that "the Jews" were plotting against the country.
In the words of the 1945 Journal of Modern History, the book was intended to be "little more than self-indulgence in dire vituperation by a man who sees Germany as the sole cause of the world's woes."
