Decree Nr. 5/37
SUBJECT: Refusal of financial assistance etc. to patients of
Jewish physicians etc.
At my instigation the Reich and Prussian Minister of the Interior has issued the following circular decree, which I transmit to you herewith for your information:
"(1) Financial assistance [Notstandsbeihilfen], including payments on account, or relief payments [Unterstuetzungen] will no longer be paid to civil service employees [Behoerdenangehoerige] for expenses that have arisen because they employed the services of Jewish physicians, dentists, pharmacies, medical personnel, hospitals, sanitoria, lying-in-hospitals, funeral parlors, lawyers, etc. Exceptions will only be made in very exceptional individual cases (i.e. when imminent danger to life made the calling-in of a Jewish physician inevitable)."
