In Prague the wheat monopoly office banned sales to “non-Aryan” merchants and accepted the resignation of all Jews on its administrative staff. “Non-Aryan” were expelled from the list of authorized exporters.

At Bratislava, Hilinka Guard chiefs ordered the requisitioning of all Jewish-owned automobiles not “absolutely necessary” to the existence of their proprietors.
