There is no ‘Jewish race,” according to Sir Flinders Petrie, renowned archeologist, who writes in the Times of London an analysis of Nazi racial claims and allegations.

“Recent archeological work at Gaza (in Southern Palestine) enabled me to estimate the make-up of the Jewish people,” the noted scientist declared. “I can say there is no Jewish race except as a religious confederacy. Jews and Englishmen are examples of the adaptable advantages of mixed ancestry.”
