English Translation

In reports from almost all areas of the Protectorate, more and more attention is being paid to the demand of all sections of the people to finally identify the Jews by means of armbands, for example, as in other occupied areas, in order to prevent discrimination against the Aryan population. Whether the Czech merchants and traders prefer to treat the Jews for political reasons or for profit, could not be determined in the individual cases so far. The action of the businessmen is described by the population as damaging to the people. Both from Prague, as well as from all major cities of the Protectorate, it is reported that the Aryan buyers, especially the Germans, are now being deprived of the food, especially fruit and vegetables in the morning, in order to be able to sell these goods only on the afternoon during the shopping period for Jews at increased prices as far as possible. Thus P i l s e n , that although recently for the all-gen unit cherries were very scarce, these were available for the Jews in every quantity. In order to escape a control, the goods are often delivered to the Jewish customers in the house. M ä h r . - O s t r a u reports that the fruit merchants, who receive their goods in the early morning, comfort the German housewives on the next morning. The next morning, however, there would hardly be anything left for the German, or Aryan customers, because the fruit was already sold to Jews at increased prices the previous afternoon. In Z l i n_ the Jews buy all accessible cheeses at increased prices, which they then send to relatives and acquaintances. However, the Aryan population cannot get cheese. From Kl a t a u_ is reported especially about the cheeky and challenging behavior of the Jews during shopping even outside their shopping time. In P r a g_ is generally known the pastry shop Berger, Wassergasse, which buys to Ariers only to a limited extent confectionery, but delivers to the Jews the goods ordered in person or by telephone into the house. 4-Obersturmbannführer
