Half-Jews and quarter-Jews are biologically and politically “undesirable,” it was declared today by Dr. Gerhard Wagner, Reich Medical Leader, in a speech on the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 at Freiburg.

Abandonment of planned legislation ousting Jews from economic life was disclosed by Dr. Wagner, who declared:

“It was expected that economic laws would follow the Nuremberg laws, but it is important to realize that the Jewish economic problem can best be solved by education.

“It is often said, why not leave the poor Jews alone. To those who are so concerned about the Jews, let us say: the fight must go on here, either victory or defeat is possible.”
