Anyone care to enlighten me? i see that jews were ordered to wear them but who started this idea? was it the germans or the jews?

it seems a very easy thing to make a star to wear to show you’re being “oppressed” and a very useless thing for germans to make to identify them. when they can simply take them off.

what i’m asking really is: did jews start the star thing? any resources

IIRC members of undesirable groups were required to wear an emblem based on their undesirable characteristic. Jews wore a yellow "Mogen David" (star of David) and homosexuals wore a pink triangle. I assume there was a punishment for not wearing the emblem and that the emblem could get you barred from certain things. It was a long time ago and I had nothing to do with it, I was only following orders.

Never knew about a pink triangle. Now replaced with a rainbow flag
