Best Answer

Jews and those with enough Jewish ancestry to be designated a Jew according to the Nazis were required by law to wear one. The identifying yellow Jewish Star of David was used by the Nazis as a crude tool to single them out and isolate them from the rest of the population. It was intended to be a badge of shame so they would be mocked, ridiculed and shunned by non-Jews. Finally, it made it much easier for the Nazis to round them all up and send them to the death camps.
