Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
"The annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany into the Greater German Reich (the Anschluss), made effective by a legislative act on March 13, 1938, required ratification by a plebiscite to occur in April. The message on this card meant for Jews reads: “Anyone who is to exercise his right to vote, although he is denied the vote or is a Jew or it is known to him that he is descended from at least three fully Jewish grandparents, or he is married to a Jewish mixed-race person (at least two Jewish grandparents), is to immediately return this voting document to the community office and stay away from the election. Otherwise, he is subjected to severe punishment.” "
