Talk:Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service

Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service
I believe there is a factual error in this article: namely the statement that the exemption of First World War combatants, included in the Act of April 1933 at Hindenburg's insistence, was reversed after Hindenburg's death in 1934. According to documents I am working with at present, which seem to me to be reliable, the exemption was cancelled by the Law Amending the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service as early as June 1933. Perhaps someone else can check this as I have no possibility of doing so. 84.130.132.53 10:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Text from Jewish Museum in Berlin
I copied the following text from the Jewish Museum in Berlin: The Beginning of the End. Only a few weeks after Hitler's National Socialist Party had taken power, his government took action against the Jewish population. On 7 April 1933 the "Law to Reestablish Civil Services" was passed. It did not only target Jews, but it contained the so-called "Aryan Paragraph" which decreed that only those of "Aryan origin" were allowed to work in the civil service. Jews were immediately consigned to "permanent retirement." This actually meant they became unemployed, with no opportunity of finding a new job of equivalent status. Of 5000 civil servants, half were fired. At first, the new law did not apply to those who were working as civil servants in August 1914, and those who had served in the war or their fathers and sons. Later, this was changed - and the law was also applied to the fields of arts and the free professions. This "half were fired" seems to directly contradict the sentence in the Wikipedia article "In practice, the amendments excluded most Jewish civil servants". 188.223.5.83 (talk) 19:45, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Poland
It is difficult to understand the fuss over these laws as Poland had already introduced similar laws aimed at Jews and subsequently strengthened them. Beck told Lord Halifax: "we have our own Jewish problems"! 2A00:23C4:B607:CB01:8892:A493:B71F:3A54 (talk) 16:44, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
