“Doctor Wohlthat in conversation with Geist requested that following information be conveyed to the Intergovernmental Committee: the German Government is prepared to continue to cooperate with the Intergovernmental Committee in the evacuation of German Jews and will allow such persons to take with them their effects excluding certain articles of which a shortage exists in Germany. Owing to the present situation no expenditure may be made out of funds in Germany either for personal transportation or the shipment of effects beyond German frontiers. The residue of property left by Jews will be turned over to the Reichs Committee for German Jews for the support of indigent Jews in Germany.”
