A Star of David patch that belonged to a Jew during the Holocaust. Germany, 1940s


A Star of David patch that belonged to a Jew during the Holocaust, In the center is the inscription JUDE (faded) sewn to felt Fabric. Germany, 1940s.


According to the German Reich regulations of 1938, every Jew in the German-occupied territory must wear a yellow badge. The writing was usually in a font that looked like a taken from ancient books. The obligation to wear the actual badge in Germany began in September 1941. It was determined that the badge would be at least ten centimeters in size, it was designed in the shape of a Star of David and contained the inscription "jude". According to the instruction the patch is worn on the garment on the left side of the chest, or on the right arm below the armpit. Jews who forgot the signal when they took to the streets, or the signal did not comply with the instructions, were officially subject to fines and imprisonment, and executed without trial by immediate firing. In the diary of Mary Berg 'Warsaw Ghetto', she wrote that the Jews took special care to keep the yellow patches in the cleanest way "because the Germans show a special 'sensitivity' at this point. when they see a Jew wearing a wrinkled or dirty armband, they beat him right away."

12x10 cm. Good condition.
