A police decree withdrawing all automobile drivers’ permits issued to German Jews was published yesterday. Signed by Heinrich Himmler, chief of all German police, the decree was intended as further punishment of the Jews, who already have been fined $400,000,000, for the murder by a Polish Jewish youth of Ernst vom Rath, third secretary of the German Embassy in Paris.

It is. Jews had their drivers' licences revoked and lost property rights to their cars on Dec 31th 1938.
