(In cases of Jews who were deported to Theresienstadt or to other places, a hearing as witnesses or a hereditary biological examination is impossible for reasons of the Security Police, because persons to accompany them and means of transportation are not available. If the residents registration office or another police office gives the information that a Jew has been deported, all other inquiries as to his place of abode as well as applications for his appearance [before court], questioning and examination are superfluous. On the contrary, it has to be assumed that the Jew is not obtainable for the taking of evidence.
If in an individual case it is in the interest of the public to make an exception and to render possible the taking of evidence by special allocation of persons to accompany and means of transportation for the Jew a report has to be submitted to me in which the importance of the case is explained. In all cases offices must refrain from direct application to the police offices, especially also to the central office for the regulation of the Jewish problem in Bohemia and Moravia at Prague, for information on the place of abode of deported Jews and their admission, hearing or examination.)
