A plan for the sterilization of Jews in Germany as a lower element of the population was announced yesterday by Wilhelm Frick, Minister of the Interior, at the first meeting of the newly-organized council on race policies for purification of the German race. The plan also provides for prohibition of intermarriages.
In announcing his plan, Frick charged that 400 Eastern European Jews had been naturalized in Berlin in 1930.
Reich’s Minister Conti argued against consideration of the Jews as an inferior race, pointing out that the official Government attitude toward the Jews was not as of an inferior but as an alien race, intermarriage with which would only lead to race hatred.
