“Governmental Decree” (“Regierungsdecret”) issued by the Austrian Government [Present-day Austria]: “‘Toleration [permits] do not extend/transfer to widows and the children of the tolerated.’ Toleration [permits] are only granted to heads of families and their wives and children, who are only partakers of these [permits] as necessary companions [of the tolerated]. […] therefore, as soon as a tolerated head of a family stops [to exist], the toleration [permit] extinguishes as well. ‘Widows of tolerated [Jews] must apply for their own toleration [permit].’ After the death of a tolerated head of a family, a widow who wishes to account for her own family, is required to apply for her own toleration [permit] within the first six weeks after the death of her husband […] or otherwise face severe punishment. […]”
