Germany Must Perish!

The book advocated genocide through the sterilization of all Germans and the territorial dismemberment of Germany, believing that this would achieve world peace.

[2][3] Kaufman advocated the mass extermination of the German people through forced sterilization and the territorial dismemberment of Germany after an Allied victory in World War II.

He belongs to the so-called Roosevelt Brain Trust, which provides intellectual and political education and advice to the American President.
