How did German identify the Jews?

Answer 1

In the concentration camps everyone including Jews were identified by the star of david, different colours mens different groups of people e.g. if someone is wearing a Yellow Star, that means that they're Jewish people.

Answer 2

Political suppression of a group of people begins by passing laws that they must register and obtain an identify card. Then sometime later, they just ask everyone with a certain name or place of birth to report to the authorities. IF you are caught without the ID, then you are assumed guilty. They then begin a campaign of fear. They brainwash the children though government sponsored events to report any suspicious people even if it is their parents. And it just gets worse and worse.

Answer 3

The Nazis would make the Jews wear the Star of David. They also had them file papers and be recorded. Because the Jews maintained their traditions, they were easily identified, but the task of finding them may have been made even easier by the use of IBM punch cards. Once in Nazi custody, they were distinguished from other prisoners by patch insignia sewn on their clothing, such as two yellow trinagles forming a Star of David.

Answer 4

There were two types of camps. Extermination and concentration. In an extermination camp, everyone was immediately killed. In a concentration camp, people were either chosen ("selected") to work or be killed. This decision was based on their physical ability, determined by SS officers. One of these was Dr. Josef Mengele, who selected 400,000 prisoners to die. At Auschwitz, the prisoners were given an identification number, which was tattooed onto their left forearm.
