The 6-pointed star, throughout history, has been used by many groups - with a variety of meanings. It has been called the 'Star Of David' or the 'Seal Of Solomon.' I generally is used by those who practice the faith of Judaism. However, I have seen it referenced as 'The Seal of Moloch' (a demonic being mentioned in The Bible, I believe, as being 'insatiable' when it came to requiring sacrifices.) I'd be careful, however, using the terms 'devil' or 'demon' when it comes to names of deities. Christianity has labeled deities of other cultures as 'devils', as the example of Ba'al. It actually means 'Lord' which can be a title held by mortals, as well as the divine. In its pursuit of becoming a dominant religion, Christianity may have taken some liberties when it comes to discrediting other faiths while attempting to empower their own. This applies to use and meaning of symbols, deities, places, holidays, etc. Looking at these issues through a variety of faiths will offer a more balanced perspective of the history.
Satanists, as well as other faiths - such as many under the Paganism umbrella, use the 5 pointed star. It's meaning and use vary from faith to faith, as pointed out in the first part of this post. The 5 pointed star has been called many names including the Goblin's cross, the 5 wounds of Christ, etc. The Pent-Alpha (5 letter As)...etc. In Paganism, the 5 pointed star can be used as a sign of protection, represent mortality (pointed up), represent the divine (pointed down), etc. Satanists have also used the 5 pointed star (pointed down) to represent a 'horned god' (Baphomet - a goat-headed being used by Aleister Crowley and crew). I'd suggest reading a variety of texts including those about Aleister Crowley, Laurie Cabot (a Witch in Salem, MA), a book on the Ryder-White deck of the Tarot, and DRAWING DOWN THE MOON by Margot Adler to gain a wider perspective of the meaning of various symbols - including the 5 and 6 pointed stars.

Why did they choose the yellow star for the jews to use?
Some Nazis did a little homework ... In the Middle Ages the Catholic Church had ordered the civil authorities to make Jews to wear a clear, identifying badge on their outermost clothing. The most commonly used badge for this purpose was the Star of David in red or yellow, probably because it was easy to understand, but in some places other badges were used. The use of this badge to mark out Jews has a long and shameful history. When Napoleon and the French Revolutionary Armies entered the city of Ancona in the Papal States in 1797, he noticed small groups of people huddled together, wearing the red badge. Napoleon was unfamiliar with this practice but immediately worked out that it was a discriminatory badge. He asked some of his officers to explain what was going on. Napoleon commented that the badge and enforced ghettoziation were contrary to the ideals of the French Revolution - liberty, equality, fraternity, and he banned the badge at once, and also the requirement that Jews live in a designated area (ghetto). He did the same in Rome and elsewhere, including Frankfurt. The ghettos in Rome and (with some modifications, also in Frankfurt) were reimposed in 1815, following the final defeat of Napoleon.
How could the Nazis tell if it was a Jew if they didn't wear the star?
A lot of Jews had curly hair and they found the Jews at the senogog. Also some people turned them in.
