All anti-Jewish regulations which are now in force in Germany will be introduced also in Holland despite the fact that the Dutch population displays sympathy with the Jews, it was reported today by the Transocean News Agency, a Nazi organ.
The Nazi press agency also states that henceforth every Jew in Holland will have to wear a yellow armband with the word “Jood” (“Jew”) on it. Heretofore, Dutch Jews have not been forced to wear yellow stars, but their identity cards were stamped with the word “Jew.”
