The Paris Commissariat for Jewish affairs instructed Paris bankers today that they may permit Jews, who have safe-deposit boxes, to withdraw personal documents and private papers, but under no condition to allow them to withdraw gold, foreign currency, jewels, silver or any documents having commercial value.
The instructions also state that eventually, if necessary, Jews will be permitted to withdraw shares and banknotes, under the direct control and responsibility of the banker, and with the proviso that these shares and currency be immediately blocked by the banker under the existing regulations for blocking Jewish capital.
