1. All Jews must surrender their radios.
2. No bank is permitted to accept further deposits from Jews.
3. Jews are no longer permitted to dispose of their property without the authorization of the Nazi military commander.
4. Jews must deliver to the National Bank all their foreign exchange holdings.
