GERMAN MARRIAGES
Hereditary Health Marriage is going to be a complicated business under Nazi-ism, according to Professor von Verscher head of the Racial Hygienic Clinic, which the Ministry of the Interior has established states the Berlin correspondent of “The Times.”
The professor will advise a medical examination of would-be-bridal couples, and their relatives, including aunts, uncles, and surviving grandparents, in order to 'ensure hereditary health. But the complicated process of examining relatives will eventually be superseded by compelling registrars to keep family records, and public health officers to create race hygiene departments, with eugenic card indexes recording vaccination, school health examinations and physical deficiencies, enabling easy information to be obtained as to whether marriage is permissible.
