A stricter policy which will purify Germany of any Jewish blood mixture was outlined today by Reichs Minister of the Interior, Dr. Wilhelm Frick, in addressing a new department of the ministry, which he created, the Reichsauschuss volksgesundheit, the board of national health, whose duty it is to purify the German nation.
Quoting from Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”, in which Hitler declared “a country devoting itself to a racial policy must one day become the ruler of the world,” Minister Frick urged the officials of the newly created department always to bear in mind the racial principle, and stated that he hoped that the already enforced laws against mixed marriages would stimulate the necessity for racial purity.
