The Frankfurter Zeitung today reports that an “Aryan” lawyer has been expelled from the Bar Association for marrying a Jewess.
The girl once saved the lawyer from drowning and helped him financially during his years of study at the university.
In expelling him, the Bar Association accused the lawyer of “vulgarly violating the duties of a German-blooded lawyer.”
Commenting on the case, the Frankfurter Zeitung points out that the existing laws do not specify that mixed marriage is a sufficient basis for expulsion from the bar and concludes that the action taken by the association is to be taken as a precedent.
