SS. b. The dates for carrying out these examinations will be agreed upon in good time between the SS leader in charge of Race and Settlement and the health offices. The SS leader in charge of Race and Settlement will inform the health office of the persons to be subjected to these screenings and this office will issue the summons. c. Before examinations are made the SS leader in charge of Race and Settlement will have to make a preliminary investigation. d. The health office will make an official report (with photograph) on the result of the examination, using the form-sheet for examinations (Reich Printing Office No. B 101) in pursuance of the joint circular decree I d 204 XX/40 5626 g secret, 3 April 1941 issued, but not published, by the Reich Minister of the Interior and the Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia with reference to the third ordinance for the execution of and as supplement to the Marriage Law of 22 October 1940 — Reich Law Gazette I page 1488. The report is to be placed at the disposal of the SS leader in charge of Race and Settlement. e. The examinations of the pregnant women and the illegitimate fathers are to be effected free of charge by the health offices in the course of their duties. 3. On the basis of the results the SS leader in charge of Race and Settlement matters will come to a decision in regard to the treatment of the pregnant women and the children in pursuance of the directives issued by the Reich Leader SS, Race and Settlement Main Office, and will pass the result of the racial screening on to the Youth Office which reported the case. If the result is negative the child is sent after birth to a Foreign Children Care Center without the assistance of the Youth Office. The Youth Office has only to make the customary reports to the guardianship court, unless it is a matter of an exceptional case as provided for in article IV. If the result of the racial screening is positive, the Youth Office will apply to the guardianship court for its own appointment as guardian; no application shall be made for the appointment of an individual guardian. An important point when deciding on the application is that the guardianship court must take into consideration the possible existence of regulations of international private law and particularly the possible existence of agreements with the home country of the child. However, the care of the child will be in the hands of the National Socialist Peoples Welfare Association which will accommodate the child in a home or in a family. |
