Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, today issued an order that no demonstrations be staged in Germany against the showing of films produced in foreign lands in which Jewish actors appear as stars.
“Such demonstrations endanger the German film industry,” the Nazi Minister stated, explaining that it makes it difficult to sell German films abroad when foreign films are met with open hostility in Germany.
BAR EXAMS TO STUDENTS
The German Minister of Interior yesterday ordered that “non-Aryan” medical and dental students who entered German universities in 1933 and are still continuing their studies are not to be admitted for final examinations. No degrees are to be conferred upon such students, the order provides.
A distinction is made in the order between “non-Aryan” students of German citizenship and those who are citizens of ### lands. Foreign students who are “non-Aryans” can be admitted to final examinations but are not to receive final degrees, the order states.
The Minister of Interior in Saxonia ordered that among the “non-Aryans” who are not to be admitted to final examinations, nurses and midwives are to be included. Exceptions may be made only in special cases and by special permission from the Ministry.
