Article Text: BERLIN, Nov. 15.—(AP)—Jews were stripped of all political rights by the Nazi government Friday and were forbidden to marry Gentiles.

Official decrees put into effect the sweeping citizenship and racial laws approved by the reichstag at its Nurnberg meeting in September.

Thus Germany's Jews are deprived of the right to vote, to hold public office or even to be employed by the government.
