Austria’s Nazi authorities have officially announced that Jews will not receive police permission to leave the country under any circumstances unless they sign an agreement never to return, the Daily Telegraph reported today from Vienna. Before receiving permission to emigrate, the Jews must also render an accounting of their property and pay emigration and other taxes.
