Ribbentrop, dated July 9, reporting Hungarian Minister of the Interior Jaross’ intention

the Reich as 326,009. Stamped and initialed by Thadden (the staff evidence analysis

by the documents I examined).
NG-5568: A mimeographed copy of a telegram from Veesenmayer to the Foreign
Office, dated June 8. “In execution of Jewish measures in Hungary basic
principle to be observed is secrecy regarding dates of deportation and of zones
which will be cleansed one after the other in order to avoid disquieting of Jewish
elements and attempts to emigrate. This applies especially to the city district of
Budapest which is to be the last zone and where difficulties in this respect are to
be expected.” Stamped and blue pencil noted by Thadden.
NG-5569: In several parts. The first and major part is a mimeograph of a telegram
from Ludin in Pressburg (Slovakia) to the Foreign Office, dated June 14. It

operations with Budapest Jews and also with the Jews being deported for labor.
