Female prisoners’ dress

Female prisoners’ dress with number. The prisoner’s number was painted usually with black color on a white peace of textile, to be worn by the “häftlings” deprived of their names on the left side of the upper cloth, at heart level, and on the right leg of the trousers, at the middle of the thigh. Above the number a color-coded triangle was placed, red for political prisoners, green for criminals, violet for Jehovah’s witnesses, black for “asocial”, brown for Roma and pink for homosexuals. The Jews were usually marked with yellow-red, the captured Jewish emigrants with yellow-blue David star.
