: You could leave the German term, set in italics, and put the translation in parentheses. Interesting reference here: http://motivationalinterview.org/mint/Mint6_2.PDF (page 2).

Ana Krämer
: imo *conception of man/mankind* conveys the meaning better, as Martina puts it.

: It depends on the context, but generally I agree with Hilary that "concept" is better than "conception". If "Menschenbild" is a key concept in the work then I would keep it in German as JeffZ has suggested.

image of humankind/mankind
I don't think the German term has entered the regular vocabulary of English-speaking philosphers/anthropologists.
By subject she means the Menschenbild of the Germans, their image of mankind, which had to be completely rebuilt after the horrors of Nazism and the devastation of the Second World War.
