1938 REICHSGESETZBLATT, PART I, PAGE 1579
Decree relating to the payment of a fine by the Jews of German nationality of 12 Nov. 1938.
The hostile attitude of the Jewry towards the German people and Reich, which does not even shrink back from committing cowardly murder, makes a decisive defense and a harsh punishment (expiation) necessary. I order, therefore, by virtue of the decree concerning the execution of the 4-year Plan of 18 . Oct. 1936 (RGBl. I, page 887) as follows:
Section 1
On the Jews of German nationality as a whole has been imposed the payment of a contribution of 1,000,000,000 Reichsmark to the German Reich.
Section 2
Provisions for the implementation are issued by the ReichMinister of Finance in agreement with the Reich-Ministers concerned.
Berlin, 12 November 1938.
The Commissioner for the Four Year Plan
Goering
General Field-Marshal.
