Yellow badge

"Yellow badges (or yellow patches), also referred to as Jewish badges (German: Judenstern, lit. ´Jew´s star´), are badges that Jews were ordered to wear at various times during the Middle Ages by some caliphates, at various times during the Medieval and early modern period by some European powers, and from 1939–1945 by the Axis powers. The badges served to mark the wearer as a religious or ethnic outsider, and often served as a badge of shame." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.07.2021)
