Why Nazis Made Jewish People Wear Yellow Stars | Compilation | USC Shoah Foundation

On September 1, 1941, an official law was imposed throughout the entire Greater German Reich. All Jews in these areas were ordered to sew a yellow Star-of-David-shaped badge onto their outer clothing. The badge donned the word “Jude” (meaning “Jew”) and had to be worn in public.
This compilation features Jewish Holocaust survivors, Dina Gottliebova-Babbitt, George Weiss, and Sophie Pollack.
