German Jews between the ages of eighteen and forty-five desiring to emigrate from the Reich must in the future apply to War Office authorities for a certificate releasing them from military obligations, according to an order made public today.
Such a certificate is necessary “in order to avoid any difficulties in securing a permit for leaving the Reich,” the announcement says, adding that “although Jews are not admitted to the army, they nevertheless remain under full military supervision.”
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
