The German word 'untermensch' translates to sub-human. Untermenschen (in the eyes of the Nazis) included Jews, Gypsies, Communists, Russians, and other 'inferior peoples.'

His adaptation of Metamorphosis, in which he originally played the part of Gregor, was first produced at the Round House in 1969. Gregor, the Untermensch, is gradually transformed into an insect which his family reject, then tolerate, then loathe, and finally destroy by neglect. (Cast 3+m, 2+f)

The characterization that Jews, Romani, and Homosexuals were sub-human (untermensch) caused many Germans to be desensitized to the persecution and later elimination of these groups. It also allowed many of the Nazis involved in the Holocaust, which was the mass extermination of these and other groups of people, to believe that they were performing good acts in "removing the vermin" who "contaminated" the rest of the population.
