Yellow Armbands

SummaryIn November 1939, at the recommendation of the leader Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi government first introduced the mandatory ID badges that the Jews were to wear. It was announced that "sever punishment is in store for Jews who do not wear the yellow badgeon back and front."This tactic was used to isolate Jews from the rest of the population and it enabled the Nazi government to concentrate, identify, and eventually murder the Jews of Europe.
