Jewish skull collection
The Jewish skull collection was an attempt by Nazi Germany to create an anthropological display to showcase the alleged racial inferiority of the "Jewish race" and to emphasize the Jews' status as Untermenschen ('subhumans'), in contrast to the Aryan race, which the Nazis considered to be superior. The collection was to be housed at the Anatomy Institute at the Reichsuniversität Straßburg in the annexed region of Alsace, where the initial preparation of the corpses was performed.
