The German authorities have issued a decree closing Jewish schools for boys over 12 years of age and ordering the pupils to work in munitions factories, the Daily Express reported today. In addition, Jews of both sexes up to the age of 50 have been assigned to various jobs, paid two-thirds of the normal “Aryan’s” wage for the same work, the report said.
In view of the housing problem that has arisen in Vienna, Jews are forced to leave their homes and live 20 and 30 to a small flat to make room for German workers accompanying aircraft and other factories, which are constantly transferred from bended Western Germany to Austria.
