To District Court—Sect. 19
Subject: Petition of Stefan Berens, Cologne, Fleischmengergasse 27, concerning sterilization of the ward Maria Simon.
Procedure: Letter there of 21 Feb 1938-19 S VII 1103—to the administration of the Protestant Hospital in Cologne-Suelz.
Conforming with higher directives, all descendants of occupational troops of foreign blood were sterilized in the summer of 1937. As a result of this measure the child Maria Simon, fathered by a colored occupation soldier, was also sterilized. Since no documents are available, it can not be stated with certainty if the guardian, Stefan Berens, was at that time informed about the sterilization. Furthermore, the sterilization did not depend on the permission of the guardian.
I ask to inform the guardian Stefan Berens in a suitable manner. I may point out that the matter is secret and may under no circumstances be discussed in public.
