Belgian Jews are prohibited to either acquire or dispose of any property without special permission of the Nazi occupation officials, under a new German decree issued in Brussels, the Belgian government-in-exile learned today.
At the same time, the Belgian circles report, the Nazis appointed a board of directors for the recently-formed Association of Belgian Jews, to which all Jews must belong. Regulations, details of which are still unknown, were also issued covering educational matters, such as the transfer of Jewish teachers dismissed from Belgian schools to Jewish schools, which all Jewish children will be compelled to attend.
