The occupier imposes the registration of Belgian Jews, their exclusion from professions and the municipal register.

The German military administration in Belgium promulgates the first anti-Jewish ordinances: administrative definition of the Jew, obligation to register with the municipal registry, prohibition from holding public office, affixing of notices on identity cards and on the storefronts of businesses. The municipalities maintain the registries, which will serve a few months later to draw up the summons lists. Belgium thus enters the state of exception that everywhere precedes deportation.
