"After Hitler took power, Nazi teachers in school classrooms began to apply the "principles" of racial science. They measured skull size and nose length, and recorded the color of their pupils' hair and eyes to determine whether students belonged to the true "Aryan race." Jewish and Romani (Gypsy) students were often humiliated in the process." USHMM
"Skull measurements were used by the Nazis in an attempt to sort out those with Jewish ancestry." SOURCE
ENTRY: CRANIOMETRY
"It can therefore be stated that the modern European Jews are shown by craniometrical evidence to be a pure type, and that no evidence of appreciable racial intermixture is discoverable." CRANIOMETRY
ENTRY: PURITY OF RACE
Against this general historical evidence of the purity of race, anthropologists bring forward the varieties of type shown by measurements of modern Jews and Jewesses. They are predominantly brachycephalic, or broad-headed, while the Semites of Arabic origin are invariably dolichocephalic, or long-headed. Against this it may be urged that modern Semites have largely recruited the race from slaves brought mainly from Africa, while some anthropologists are inclined to associate the racial origin of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and curved noses they appear to have inherited.

ENTRY: CONSANGUINITY AMONG THE JEWS
" ... W. Stieda found that there were 23.02 per cent per thousand consanguineous marriages (cousins marrying and for Jews also, uncles & nieces marrying) among the Jews of Alsace-Lorraine as compared with 8.97 among Catholics and 1.86 among Protestants ... It has been contended that the neurotic tendency of Jews is due to these consanguineous marriages." CONSANGUINITY AMONG JEWS
