“Rescript regarding the Jews moving/resettling from Chelmno and Michalow” issued by the Royal Ministry of the Interior and addressed to the government of Marienwerder [Present-day Germany, Poland; Kingdom of Prussia]: “[…] the general regulations regarding matters pertaining to [the attainment of] citizenship for Jews in the new[ly acquired] provinces are not established yet, and therefore, Jews must be treated according to the previous constitutions which were inherited. [As to the question] whether Jews are to be permitted to move [from the districts of Chelmno and Michalow to the Grand-Duchy of Posen and vice a versa] it really depends. In the former case, this may still be allowed with little concern, not the latter [case], however. […]”
