Subject: Police Ordinance on the marking de: Juden und Durehführungsbestimmungen. The legal orders and administrative orders issued to the public regarding the required withdrawal of the Jewish element were greatly affected in their effectiveness by the lack of an external identification of the Jews. In this respect, the law of the Reichsgesetzblatt I, page 547, creates conversely. in my Ordinance, page 497/41, the police decree on the identification of the Jews announced the desired remedy. The regulation enters into force on 19 September 1941. I request that the subordinate departments, in particular the security bodies, be charged with the most precise observance of the regulations and that they be unintentionally denounced. The punishment of the commandments and prohibitions enumerated in the police regulation is in the Protector:t Böhmen and Moravia of the secret state police. The security authorities must therefore be ordered to immediately submit reports of violations to the competent state police station.
