The span of left to new arrivials in Lublin was, at most 48 hours. Between the decree prohibiting the Jewish method of killing cattle and the circular which in routine bureaucratic language ordains the killing of Jews, the Nazi legislative machinery ground out hundreds of anti-Jewish edicts. Their range, their malice and their savagery stagger the imagination. Major Nazi laws stripping Jews nf their citizenship, their jobs and theii property are fairly well known, as are regulations such as those that compelled the wearing the Star of David on one’s outer garments. The special value of Dr. Blau’s work lies in the collation of hundreds of other prohibitions and instances of chicanery. Thus, after Jewish children had long been ex cluded from th(> general schools, such decrees as that of January 1941, requiring Jews to give up woolen clothing and furs, permit ting them to retain one overcoat but specifying that, if it has a fur collar, it must be detached; that of December 1941, banning Jews from the use of telephones; that of February 1942, forbidding them to subscribe to or buy newspapers and magazines; that of April 1942, ex cluding them from the use of pub lic transportation, that of May 1942, barring them from barber shops; and that of the same month, pro hibiting Jews from owning pets such as dogs, cats, canaries or gold fish. A little later, the "final solution of the Jewish question" — to use the Nazi term for total deportation and extermination — within the borders of Germany seemed an al most accomplished fact. In March 1944. SS chief Heinrich Himmler issued a circular to all government departments concerned, in which he noted that "evacuation and isola tion of the Jews had been com pleted. This, he pointed out, ren dered pointless the drafting of ad ditional anti-Jewish decrees and no more were therefore to be pub lished.
