English Translation

6 16 The first 5,000 Jews are expected to leave the Protectorate in the course of the next few weeks. It goes without saying that this combined Judaism - as long as it saw its activity in a shaky trade and in black hands, etc. - is to lead to an orderly work serving the community. In these days - following these lines of thought - the Protectorate Government will still adopt a number of incisive provisions for Judaism, which are deemed necessary until the final separation of Judaism. This applies in particular to provisions which have long since been introduced in the Reich. I believe that a large part of the population of the Protectorate will understand and welcome these measures. However, for those who, for oppositional reasons or for lack of understanding, believe that they have to deal openly or secretly with the Jews or express their sympathy to them, I reserve the right to let the measures outlined above be effective for them as well: that is to say, isolation and resettlement. Also in these general questions I ask for your support as mediator to the population of the Protectorate as before. GYSIS --- F.d.R.D.A.: Hauptsturmführer
