'''''Germany Must Perish!''''' is a 104-page book written by [[Theodore N. Kaufman]], which he self-published in 1941 in the [[United States]]. The book advocated [[genocide]] through the sterilization of all [[Germans]] and the territorial dismemberment of Germany, believing that this would achieve world peace. 

Kaufman founded the Argyle Press in [[Newark, New Jersey]], United States, in order to publish this book. He was the sole proprietor of the Argyle Press, which is not known to have published any other works.

The [[Nazi Party]] used the book, written by a [[Jews|Jewish]] author, to support their argument that Jews were [[Jewish war conspiracy theory|plotting against their country]].<ref name=NYT>{{cite news|title=Jews of Hanover Forced from Homes.
