Holocaust Survivor Uniform: Striped Prisoner Garment with Yellow Star of David #1896574 (License: Personal Use)

This historically significant garment is a green-and-gray striped wool uniform issued to Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration camps during World War II; it bears a hand-stitched yellow Star of David inscribed with “Jude” in black Gothic script and a faded fabric tag displaying prisoner number 53161. The collar shows wear and fraying, and the interior lining is partially torn, reflecting its use under harsh conditions. The fabric’s coarse weave and utilitarian construction underscore its role as a tool of dehumanization and forced identification.

Used in museum exhibits, educational resources, and Holocaust remembrance sites to illustrate the systematic oppression of Jews under Nazi rule; serves user intent for historical research, teaching, or memorial documentation.
