The importance of the Star of David during the Holocaust was that it was used in the Concentration Camps, Ghettos and around Nazi controlled areas to identify certin groups of people. Hitler and the Nazis used the Star on David who they thought either were threat to the Nazi reigm or people who they think that weren't "pure". These were used on people who were prosecuted by the Nazis suchas: Jews, Gypsies Romas, Poles, POWs, Homosexuals, Criminals, mentally ill, disabled and Political prisoners.

The Star of David was used exclusively by Jewish residents. The Nazis forced them to wear it for identification. Each group of "undesirables" was given a different symbol to wear. They were called Badges of Shame. For instance, Jews wore a yellow Star of David, homosexuals wore a pink triangle, poltical prisoners red triangle, career criminals wore a green triangle, purple for Jehovah's Witness, brown for Roma and black was reserved for the unfit/disabled etc.
