Euranians

Euranians are a fictional ethnic group featured in the alternate history novel "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick. In the novel's world, Euranians are the descendants of European Jews who escaped persecution and settled in the Western Hemisphere, primarily in the United States, during the Nazi regime's rise to power. Their presence in the United States is a significant consequence of the Axis victory in World War II depicted in the novel.

The Euranians are portrayed as a distinct cultural and religious group, maintaining their traditions and identity in the face of oppression and displacement. Their history is marked by loss and resilience, having survived the Holocaust and the subsequent establishment of a Nazi-dominated world order. The novel suggests that while they have found a degree of refuge, they still live under the constant threat of the ruling powers. Their existence in "The Man in the High Castle" serves to illustrate the lasting impact of historical events and the struggle for survival and cultural preservation in a dystopian reality. The term "Euranian" itself is a neologism created by Dick to represent this specific group of survivors.
