Dr. Gerhard Wagner, Reich medical leader, in a public address here announced that there were still 500,000 Jews living in Germany.

He said there were also 200,000 half-Jews and 100,000 quarter Jews, but that the former group would be completely eliminated within the next generation. This prediction, he said, was based on the fact that many of the half-Jews are dying childless and the remainder leave behind them children who automatically become quarter-Jews and hence are eligible to intermarry with “Aryans.”
