What did the Jews yellow stars meant?

Question

Ya know during the World War II

Answer 1

Under the Nazi occupation of Europe: the Star of David with the word "Jew" inside ("Jude" in German) was mandatory for Jewish people to wear.
"A Star of David, often yellow-colored, was used by the Nazis during the Holocaust as a method of identifying Jews. After the German invasion of Poland in 1939 there were initially different local decrees forcing Jews to wear a distinct sign – in the Generalgouvernement e.g. a white armband with a blue Star of David on it, in the Warthegau a yellow badge in the form of a Star of David on the right side of the breast and on the back.[5] The requirement to wear the Star of David with the word Jude (German for Jew) inscribed was then extended to all Jews over the age of 6 in the Reich and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (by a decree issued on September 1, 1941 signed by Reinhard Heydrich [6]) and was gradually introduced in other German-occupied areas, where local words were used (e.g. Juif in French, Jood in Dutch).
Jewish inmates in concentration camps were later forced to wear similar Nazi concentration camp badges."

But that wasn't the first time.

"A yellow badge, also referred to as a Jewish badge, was a mandatory mark or a piece of cloth of specific geometric shape, worn on the outer garment in order to distinguish a Jew in public.
The use of distinctive clothing or marks for Jewish and other religious communities has been traced by historians to ancient times. In the early Islamic period non-Muslims might be required to wear distinctive marks, such as metal seals fixed around their necks. This appears to have derived from practices general in the ancient world including tattooing and branding of slaves and captives. However, both Jewish and Islamic religious authorities disapproved of the application of permanent markings and this may be why leaden or copper seals were used at some times in the Islamic world as a distinguishing mark for those who were non-Muslims or slaves or both.

Answer 3

Star of David

Answer 4

It was an act to humiliate the Jews. It singled them out for "special" treatment. They were not allowed to sit on park benches, use sidewalks, or ride on Aryan only trams and busses. It was also a way to impose curfews on Jews and keep them ghettoized. Not wearing the star meant stiff penalties including death.

Gay were required to wear a pink triangle.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Oh, I think he knew exactly what it meant. I think he was ignoring the gravity of its meaning and exaggerating the legitimacy of his complaint in making the analogy. It's called "playing the Hitler card" or "argumentum ad nazium" if you like latiny sounding names and/or puns.
