What is symbolism for the holocaust?

Answer 1

Yellow Star of David was worn by all European Jews with some regional variations. This was so Nazi soldiers, SS like the lightning (the s for the band kiss) and Jew haters could identify Jews at a glance. There were also several other symbols worn by inmates in the concentration camps. Pink triangle for homosexuals, brown triangle for gypsies, black triangle for anti social prisoners, red for political enemies, green for habitual criminals, blue for foreigners, purple for Jehovah's Witnesses. If the person was a Jew and one of the above she would wear a yellow triangle with the appropriate color badge on top of it to form a two-color Magen David.

All Jews over the age of ? were forced to wear a white armband with a blue Magen David on it when they were outdoors. Again, so they could be easily identified and presumably harassed.

Nazi Swastika. The swastika has been around for thousands of years but brought into ill repute by Hitler and his minions of evil. The derivation of the word "swastika" is Sanskrit and roughly translates "icon" or "good luck charm." Some form of the swastika can be found in many cultures but it has fallen into disuse because of its association with the evil committed by Hitler and his followers.
