WW2 Period ‘Jew Here’ Identification Star

Here we have a very rare, very emotive and interesting artefact. What we have here is an identification star of a Jewish resident of the Third Reich, these were attached to buildings where Jews lived, worked and socialised.

The star is a very basic iron or steel Star of David with the phrase ‘JUDEN HIER’ on the front and two holes where it would have been affixed to a structure.

This piece was originally from Poland but like many items like this bears no manufacturers mark.

~ Dimensions ~

The star is 5 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter.

The star weighs 45g.

~ Condition ~

The star has some surface rust and one hole due to corrosion where the black treatment has worn off.
