Why were the Jews required to wear the Star of David in the Holocaust?

∙ 12y ago
The Nazis required it as a way to identify Jews quickly and easily. (The five-point Star of David has for a long time been regarded as a badge of Jewish identity).
___
So that they could be identified by the National Socialists (Nazis) and shipped off to concentration camps.
Even before being shipped off, Jews were defined as second class citizens, and part of the degradation was to have them identify themselves (with the Star) as such. It also ensured that these newly-declared sub-humans were not exercising any rights that had been denied to them.
___
It is also interesting to note the hexagram - that is, the Nazi version of the star, was never given to the Jews as a sign of endearment. Its original name is the star of Molech, was known by true Jews as a sign of that Babylonian god or the devil since it had six pionts, six lines, and six triangles.
They had to wear the Star of David on their arm so that everybody knew that they were Jews - members of the hated race.
