The limitations of item 1 do not apply in cases of public necessity or the Jew's work responsibilities requiring crossing the borders of his community.

2. Exceptions to Item 1 may be requested of the District Captain in the city of Lvov.
3. Violations of this decree are punishable by incarceration for up to 3 months and/or by a fine in the amount of up to 1,000 zloty.
The above punishments may be changed to incarceration in the workplace. Approval of this change is in the competence of the District Captain.
4. This decree is coming in effect on 5 September 1941.
The document is in good to very good condition. The darkish tone of paper is identical to some other German flyers and posters of the same period that we have come across, and may be a side effect of the printing process or the type of paper used. The edges are a little frayed, and there is a small piece missing at the upper right-hand corner. And old rip at bottom right has been repaired with tape on the verso. The document has been stored folded in two but the fold line shows no fraying, much less separation.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
