This is a review of the history of an attempt to prove Jewish racial inferiority by selecting Jews who fit the racial stereotype, then murdering them, and processing the bodies for display in a German university museum. In the end, the researchers were unable to find any evidence of Jewish racial inferiority as predicted by the anthropology and medical academic community of the time.
The cost in terms of lives and suffering included over 100 innocent people who were murdered to prove a theory that turned out to be not only wrong but based on an erroneous secular philosophy, namely Darwinism. This display was one result of the rejection of the Genesis account that teaches all men are descendants of our first parents, Adam and Eve; thus all humans are of one race (the human race) and one kind (mankind).
A claim by some historians is that the Jewish Holocaust was caused purely by anti-Semitism. In fact, as has been well-documented, Darwinian-based racism was a central factor in causing the Holocaust [and was tied directly to antisemitism]. One of many examples of evidence for this fact is the extensive, detailed study of Jewish skeletons undertaken by Nazi collaborators in an attempt to scientifically prove the racial inferiority of the bodies of Jews. Exactly what the scientists were looking for is unknown, but it is clear that the skeleton collection was driven by the belief that Jews were biologically inferior humans. Some common characteristics listed supporting this ill-founded notion included especially facial traits of the nose, mouth, chin, forehead, and eye and hair color, as well as body-build. This belief in “Jewish inferiority” led to the proposal that a careful study of Jewish skeletons and body organs would provide scientific support for this view.
This goal led to selecting appropriate examples of Jews that fit the racist stereotype as outlined by various anthropology references. After the subjects were identified, they were murdered, their bodies were studied, some organ(s) removed for further study, and then all of the flesh was removed with the goal of placing their skeletons in German museums to document German racial theories.
