Description
This story is from a volume of short stories called 'Attendance list for a funeral'. Professor Hirt, a character mentioned in this story, is based on a historical figure who did, in fact, carry out experiments at the University of Strasbourg that involved measuring the skulls of Jews in an attempt to prove that Jews are biologically inferior because they have smaller brains than Aryan Germans
