The Nazis believed they were a race. It wasn't about your religious belief, converting to christianity would not stop them from gassing you. You were a Jew by birth and blood line.

So Ms. G got it entirely wrong.
You don't really believe that do you?
We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with bonobos and chimpanzees. Humans and gorillas share 98.4 percent of their DNA. Even Bananas have 60% of our DNA.
It has been recognised that there were multiple coexisting species of human. e.g.
Homo rudolfensis (left) and Homo habilis (right)

Science and education has moved on, and we now know that there is only one 'race', the Human Race. We are all descended from the same origins, we all share the same DNA, etc.
The minor differences are down to evolution, us adapting our bodies to cope with the local conditions, it's not genetics, there has been no subdivision of different species. And from those local conditions and disparities different cultures and religions have developed. We now classify ourselves as different ethnicities, within the same 'race'.
