The chief of police in Dortmund officially announced that all Aryan girls mingling with Jews or German boys courting Jewish girls. Will be arrested.
“Disturbances have occurred recently in numerous restaurants because Aryan girls have permitted themselves to be invited by Jews or dance with Jews when the majority of the nation, thank God, is aware of the great danger in mixing our blood with Jew elements.
“Similarly, police have received complaints against parents whose sons and daughters are in relations with Jews which endangers the purity of the German family and violates Nazi principles,” he declared in his announcement.
“The police, whose duty it is to maintain order and further Nazi ideals, cannot, therefore, stand aside, and must act with State measures, and will take into protective arrest all those irresponsible Germans to make them realize, their great crime against the German nation.”
