... I should like to draw your attention
to the following: The Youth Welfare Office applied for the appointment of
an individual guardian taking into account that, according to § 5,
paragraph 2 d, the children are classified as Jews. In my opinion, this
premise does not apply, at least not to the eIder child, Ingrid. Both
children were born out of wedlock to the Jewess Irma Eckler. Father of
both children is the Aryan
August Friedrich Landmesser. In this case, according to the above decree,
only those born after July 31, 1936, are Jewish, so Ingrid Eckler is 'Mischling',
first degree. PIease check if I should nevertheless continue
as guardian for both children or whether in the case of Ingrid Eckler the
guardianship should be transferred back to the Youth Welfare Office,
Harnburg. The birth certificate of Ingrid Eckler, which verifies paternity,
is enclosed with the request that it be returned.
