MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: What date was that?
GÖRING: 1935, I believe; here in Nuremberg, in September.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: That was the beginning of the legal measures taken against the Jews, was it not?
GÖRING: That was a legal measure.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: That was the first of the legal measures taken by your government against the Jews, was it not?
GÖRING: No, I believe the removal from office was before.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: When was that?
GÖRING: I could not state the exact date, but I believe that happened in 1933.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Then on the first day of December 1936, you promulgated an act making it a death penalty for Germans to transfer property abroad or leave it abroad; the property of a culprit to be forfeited to the State, and the People’s Court given jurisdiction to prosecute, did you not?
GÖRING: That is correct; the “Decree Governing Restriction on Foreign Currency.” That is to say, whoever had an account in a foreign country without permission of the government.
