The original document of the Nurenberg racial laws, complete with the signature of Adolph Bitler, has been obtained by a German-born American Jewish soldier and is now in the hands of the U. S. Third Army, the London press reports.
Sgt. Frank Perls of San Francisco, who fled the Reich with his father after promulgation of the Nurenberg laws made life intolerable for Jews in Germany, ferrated out the document at the home of an official of the German finance ministry near Nurenberg, where it had been placed for safe-keeping. Sgt. Perls is attached to the Allied Military Government.
