Yellow Star with Jude inscription
This example is made of fabric with a distinctive type of print that unmistakably indicates production during the Third Reich. The material has a particular texture and visual characteristics that immediately set an authentic piece apart from the many reproductions on the market today. Experienced specialists can easily determine authenticity by the structure of the base and the quality of the print.
The image of the star with the word Jude is sharp and clear, the lines remain well defined, and the fabric shows density and smoothness. Stitch marks are visible along the edges, confirming that the badge was actually worn.
The star shows light traces of wear, but overall it has survived in excellent condition, which is an exceptional rarity nowadays.
Historical note: The yellow Star of David with the inscription Jude became a symbol of the Nazi persecution of Jews. Similar signs were first introduced in occupied Poland in 1939 in the form of white armbands with a blue Star of David. From 1 September 1941, wearing the yellow star became mandatory for all Jews over the age of six by decree of the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA), signed by Reich Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick on the initiative of Reinhard Heydrich and with the approval of Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. The badge was used for public humiliation, social isolation, and to facilitate deportations, becoming one of the most recognizable symbols of the Holocaust.
