The immediate dismissal of all Prussian employees, who denied their Jewish descent and gave false information about their political party affiliations, was ordered today by the Prussian Minister of Finance on behalf of all the Prussian Ministries. The dismissals were termed disciplinary punishment in the order issued by the Finance Minister.
