Question

Why did the Nazis force certain groups to wear badges with a yellow triangle like the one shown below?

A. To distinguish political prisoners from religious offenders in concentration camps
B. To separate Jewish from non-Jewish prisoners in concentration camps
C. To dehumanize the poor and mentally ill within German society
D. To identify German citizens who were not members of the Nazi Party

Answer 1

If the yellow triangle is referring to the Star of David then the answer is B.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) To separate Jewish from non-Jewish prisoners in concentration camps.

The yellow triangle described in the question represents the Star of David. This is an important symbol for individuals who practice Judaism. The Nazi's used this to distinguish between the different types or prisoners at their concentration camps during World War II. This is due to the fact that the leader of the Nazi Party, Adolph Hitler, constantly blamed Jewish people for the problems faced by the German citizens after World War I.
