...If
the authority of the National-Socialist Reich is to be upheld,
then it is unacceptable that representatives of the Reich
should be obliged to meet Jews when they enter or leave the
house, and are in this way liable to infection with epidemics.
He [Frank] therefore intends to clear the city of Cracow of
Jews, as far as at all possible, by November 1, 1940. There
will be a major operation to move the Jews, on the grounds
that it is absolutely intolerable that thousands upon
thousands of Jews should go slinking around and occupy
apartments in the city which the Fuehrer has granted the great
honor of becoming the seat of a high Reich Authority....
