The yellow badge, also known as yellow patch, Jewish badge or yellow star (German: Judenstern, lit. 'Jew's star'), was a badge that Jews were ordered to wear by some caliphates during the Middle Ages, some European powers during the Medieval and early modern periods, and Nazi officials in World War II. The badges marked the wearer as a religious or ethnic outsider, often as a badge of shame.[1]

But the wearing of a badge or outward sign – whose effect, intended or otherwise, successful or not, was to shame and to make vulnerable as well as to distinguish the wearer – was one thing.
