Subject: Posted prohibitions concerning Poles, Jews, and gypsies
The separately published decrees and rules governing the livelihood of Poles, Jews, and gypsies within the jurisdiction of the Reich, have frequently led to a summary equalization of these groups in the public eye as far as sale-and-utilization prohibitions, public announcements in the press, etc., are concerned. This attitude does not correspond with the differentiated political position to be granted to these groups now, and in the future.
As far as Jews and gypsies are concerned the accomplished evacuation and isolation of these groups by the Chief of the Security Police and the SD has made the publication of special directives (concerning the all inclusive prohibition of participation in many livelihoods) in the previous manner meaningless. Therefore, corresponding public directives may be eliminated.
