An announcement of the Chancellor’s Department states that the Austrian Government has recognized the Nuremberg anti-Jewish laws as applicable to German subjects in Austria.
When the German authorities refuse to issue a “certificate of fitness for marriage” to an “Aryan” wishing to be married to a “non-Aryan,” the refusal must be recognized in Austria, the announcement says.
The Official Gazette of the Vienna Archbishopric adds that neither register offices nor Catholic Churches in Austria can wed Germans refused licenses in the Reich. The “certificate of fitness” cannot be dispensed with, the Gazette states.
