The Persecution of the Jews in Ten Stages. Symbolisation (4)

Joods Cultureel Kwartier

From May 1942 onwards, all Jews of six years and older had to wear yellow badges. These badges resembled the Star of David, abusing a Jewish religious symbol. They marked the wearers as Jews, for all the world to see. Like these children in Amsterdam, pretending that they are going camping. Jews were treated as a separate group and thus became increasingly isolated.
