The Reichsstatthalter in Vienna I a Pol.—VIII—136/40
Vienna 7 November 1940
Subject: Compulsory Labor of Ablebodied Jews.
1. Notice:
On 5 November 1940 telephone conversation with Colonel [Standartenfuehrer] Huber of the Gestapo. The Gestapo has received directions from the Reich Security Main Office [RSHA], as to how ablebodied Jews should be drafted for compulsory labor service. Investigations are being made at present by the Gestapo, to find out how many ablebodied Jews are still available in order to make plans for the contemplated mass projects. It is assumed that there are not many more Jews available. If some should still be available, however, the Gestapo has no scruples to use the Jews even for the removal of the destroyed synagogues.
SS Colonel Huber will report personally to the "Regierungspraesident" in this matter.
I have reported to the "Regierungspraesident" accordingly. The matter should further be kept in mind.
