Roll of ‘Yellow Star’ Fabric
1942
Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei
Amsterdam, Netherlands
As of 3 May 1942, all Jews age six and older were required to wear a so-called yellow star visible on the left side of their clothing. It was yet another measure to isolate and exclude Jews from Dutch society. The word Jood (Jew) appears in the middle of this six-pointed star, which has the same form as the Jewish Star of David.
