Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Reinhard Heydrich, SS-Obergruppenfuhrer, at this time in 1941 the "Reichsprotektor" in Bohemia and Moravia, wrote this directive for the Nazi Reichsbank, which dealt with the assets of Jewish individuals, businesses and organizations and the deadlines that they had to meet to keep at least a part of their wealth. This directive references the German laws in effect as well as punishments Jews were to face for not meeting these deadlines. In the end all Jewish assets were seized anyway.
