"A Duty"
your
The writer goes so far as to tell the addressee that it is his duty "as a patriot" to change his name. "Every one who wishes his home- land and his people well must regard it as his patriotic duty to adopt a Gennan natne" the letter continues. In doing this he erects the grandest memorial to his fathers and forefathers. Hereby you are once more offered 2 chance to produce evidence of your German way of thinking."
It seems that the German off- cial had some doubts about the effectiveness of his argument, for he assumed a threatening tone in the last part of the letter: "For the last time you are requested here- with to move WITHIN EIGHT DAYS for a change of your French first or family name be- fore the Bureau of the District Commissary on
March, 1941,
at 3 p.m. and submit the reason for your refusal.
"You non-appearance in that case will result in your being brought before the commissary by force. Signed '.
PR
It may be noted that the letter provides for a change of the French Arst or family name of the addressee, which indicates that it is a copy of a circular let- ter which probably was sent out in numbers.
The pressure brought on these former citizens of France to adopt German names recalls the storm of indignation that swept Ger- many when Benito Mussolini or- dered German families in
the formerly, Austrian Tyrol to adopt Italian names after the Italians annexed that region as a result of the Treaty of St. Germain in 1019.
