The Yellow Star

Jude

The word "Jude" is the German word for a Jewish person.  When Poland was defeated the Nazis made a law of publicly identifying the Jewish people.  That meant that every Jew had to have a Jewish star with the word Jude in the middle.  This star must be visible at all times worn on the persons shirt.  The star was a sign that the person wearing  it was a Jew.  In those times when you were wearing that badge you would be avoided by all people.

Humiliation 

  Making the Jews wear the Jewish star quickly changed the sign of Judaism into a patch of humiliation.  Not only were they humiliated but it became like torture to the jewish people.  When they went into the street it was even torture.  When they went into the street they were emediatly recognized, monetered, shunned, abused, and mostly marked for death.  This  made them easy prey for people to make fun of them and phisicaly hurt them to.
