Two new laws were passed by Germany on September 15, 1933. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor states that no Jew may marry a German. The Reich Citizenship Law says that Jews cannot be German citizens unless they are loyal to the Germans and have Aryan blood. |

Walked up to the 31st Street Dime Store with Mother. I got her a pair of hosiery for Mother's Day. Bought me a pair of white anklets.

Went in swimming. I said my lines, which made me 650 altogether. But that boy was absent and I don't know how many he knew.
| Engaged on May 1, 1933 Prince Wilhelm, 26, eldest son of Germany's onetime Crown Prince Wilhelm, and Dorothea von Salviati, commoner. Many a monarchist considered young Wilhelm the logical candidate for a Hohenzollern restoration. Under old Prussian law his marriage would not bar him from the throne, but his children could not succeed him. And the marriage had to be sanctioned by the head of the family, who was reported grieved. Wilhelm renounced any rights to the succession for himself and his future children in 1933, and he and Dorothea married on 3 June 1933 in Bonn. They had two daughters. In 1940, the marriage was recognised as dynastic and the girls were given the title and style of Princesses of Prussia. A member of the unified armed forces of Germany, Wilhelm took part in the invasion of France in May 1940. He was wounded during the fighting in Valenciennes and died in a field hospital in Nivelleson May 26, 1940. |
