Pictured Above: This March 8, 1936, post card announces the March 29 Reichstag election, and notifies the recipient where her polling place is located. The address side is headed, “Pay attention to reverse!”

Pictured Above: The text on the reverse side of the post card states:
Registration in the voter list or the possession of this card in themselves offer no evidence of the right to vote. Jews are specifically excluded from the right to vote in accordance with Section 5 of the first decree of the Reich citizenship law of November 14, 1935.

It goes on to define a Jew legally by criteria of ancestry, religious practice, or marriage, and requires any Jewish recipient of the card to return it immediately to authorities. “Whoever, without being entitled to vote, casts a ballot, will be punished by imprisonment and a fine, or one of those penalties.”

Metered postage, 3-pfennig printed matter rate.
