The Jewish community in Prague, anxious to prevent anti-Jewish provocations, today issued a “Jewish time table” which reveals the extent of discriminations now practiced against Jews in the Czcoh Protectorate under various regulations.
The Jews are urged by the community to strictly observe the hours for chopping and visiting official institutions as marked in the “time table,” in order to avoid possible persecutions. The time-table shows that:
1. Jews are admitted to retail shops to make purchases only between the hours of 3 to 5.
2.They may go to the health insurance clinic -only one is open to them between the hours of 1 to 2.
3. They can go to the barber shop only from 8 to 10 in the morning, unless it is a barber shop exclusively for Jews.
4. They can go to one steam-bath in Prague on Monday, or one in Karls bad on Tuesday, or one in Karlsbad on Wednesday. These are “Jewish days” at the specified institutions.
5. They can go to the Municipal building on business only from 8 to 9 in the morning.
6. They can visit the Pension Bureau only from 1 to 2 in the afternoon daily and 11 to 12 on Saturday.
7. They are admitted to banks and insurance offices daily from 8 to 9 in the morning only.
The Prague Jewish community also announced that 11 offices have been established in the city for distribution of Yellow Mogen Davids to Jews. In Bruenn seven offices have been established, while in the provinces each Jewish community acts as distributor.
