German “Aryans” married to Jews have been given fresh incentive to divorce their Jewish mates by the latest regulations adopted by the Nazi party stipulating that persons married to Jews will not be allowed to join the party “if the marriage continues.”
The new regulations, which were drawn up by Herr Buch, also bans all applicants for membership who cannot prove pure “Aryan” descent.
According to the Deutsche Rundschau, more than 870 genealogists are at present employed by the racial research department of the Ministry of the Interior for the purpose of establishing the ancestry of persons desiring to join the Nazi party.
