56ai 21010 The embodiment itself has the following wording: The treatment of the gypsy question lies in the sense of national social reconstruction work. Therefore, its solution can only be realized if national socialist ideas are taken into account. Although it should be pointed out as a principle for the fight against the gypsy plague that the German people also respect every race other than their own ethnicity, the aim of the state measures to safeguard the unity of the German national community must be the racial separation of gypsies from the German population, then the prevention of racial research and, finally, the regulation of the living conditions of the purebred Gypsies and Gypsy hybrids. The necessary legal basis can only be created by a Gypsy law, which prevents further blood mixtures and regulates all important questions that the life of the Gypsy race in the German Volksraum brings with it. The RdErl. d. RF4uChdDtPol. i. RMdI. of 8. 12. 1938 first orders the registration of persons living in the Reichsgebiet, who are considered gypsies by the population or are known by the police as gypsy. The purpose of the registration is to determine both the number of gypos, and the possibility of racial classification of all persons living according to the Gypsy species. If it is perfectly clear how many gypsies, gypsy hybrids and gypsum-driving people there are in the realm, further measures can be taken. There can be no doubt that the police must break with the previous treatment of the gypos question. It cannot be solved solely by the fact that the individual Gaue of the Reich keep their territory as free as possible from gypsies as possible as a result of different individual regulations or as a consequence of soon more, soon less strict handling of the regulations by the individual enforcement bodies, but other areas are flooded with gypsy. The gypsy problem must be seen and solved much more on the Reich scale.
