MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Yes. And you also agreed with the principle of excluding all Jews from civil service positions, did you not?
SCHACHT: No. I want to emphasize in this connection...
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well...
SCHACHT: May I finish?
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Yes.
SCHACHT: With regard to the principle of the dominating Jewish influence in government, legal, and cultural questions I have always said that I did not consider this influence to be of advantage either to the German people and Germany, which was a Christian state and based on Christian conceptions, or to the Jews, since it increased the animosity against them. For these reasons I was always in favor of limiting Jewish participation in those fields, not actually according to the population, but nevertheless limiting them to a certain percentage.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, let’s go on with the interrogation. The interrogations are always so much briefer than the answers made in court where the press is present, if I may say so.
Did you not give these answers:
“Question: ‘Now, with respect to civil service. There was this Aryan clause that was put in. Did you agree with that legislation?’
“Answer: ‘With the same limitation.’
