Already barred from public auction rooms in Paris, Jews were today denied access to auction rooms in the entire Seine-Oise district by an order issued by the Prefect of the district, the Paris press reports. Jews may not even act as buyers or engage in business through Aryan intermediaries. Notices to this effect have been placed on walls of all the rooms and offenders are subject to internment and penal action.
Simultaneously, the Vichy government revealed the provisions of a decree to be issued shortly, which limits the number of Jewish doctors allowed to practice in unoccupied France to two percent of the Aryan medical men. Within this group priority will be given to war veterans and those belonging to families of men who were killed fighting for France.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
