Jewish WW2 Extremely rare Jewish WW2 GHETTO yellow David star patch with letter Z worn in Yugoslavia People deported to concentration camps ceased to be treated like human beings. Their names were replaced with numbers, which they had to memorize and respond to during role calls and other procedures. Their clothing was confiscated and replaced by uniforms that had patches sewn on to identify them on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. Many lost their lives through starvation, disease, torture, and physical exhaustion. Some were shot or gassed.For your viewing is a rare WWII Jewish Ghetto star patch with Yellow David STAR as mandated to be worn by all Jews after May 27, 1942. The German regimes in the occupied countries of Europe force Jews to wear an identifying mark under the threat of death. Jewish star as required to be worn by all Jews in Germany, Poland, Bohemia (JOOD), France (JUIF), Belgium (J), Yugoslavia (Z and ZIDOV), Holland (JOOD) and several other areas during WWII.
