The Military Commander in France Administrative Staff, Dept. Wi
[Economic Dept.] I File No. 6694/41 Mr. Celap in the firm of Austin
Soc. An. 33, Ave. des Champs-Elysees, Paris 8
Dear Sir,
Since the sale of 27,000 and 30,000 shares effected through Mr.
Rothschild to Mr. Celap on 26 September 1940 does not guarantee the exclusion
of Jewish influence in the Austin firm in Liancourt, I hereby declare this
agreement void by virtue of paragraph 4 of the second ordinance concerning
measures against Jews dated 18 October 1940 (VOBLF [ordinance gazette] for the
French occupied territories No. 12 of 20 October 1940).
The appointment
of a provisional administrator for the firm will be made from
here. |
