VOELKISCHER BEOBACHTER 15/16 November 1938 UNIVERSITIES BARRED FOR JEWS
A decree of the Reich Minister for Education taking immediate effect.
It is known that the Reich Minister for Science, Training, and Education for a long time has admitted Jews to the German universities to a very modest extent only. The draft of a bill now in preparation provides that in future no more Jews will be admitted to German universities.
The indignation of the German people aroused by the infamous crime of the Jew Gruenspan called for immediate action as German students cannot be expected to work along with Jews in the universities and their installations any longer. Reich Minister Rust therefore has ordered the rectors of German universities by telegraph to prohibit Jews from participating in the lectures and exercises as well as from entering the university buildings.
