Striped pajamas with purple triangle for Jehovah Witnesses in nazi camps

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Striped pajamas with purple triangle;
  • Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Nazi Germany: Jehovah's Witnesses suffered religious persecution in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945 after refusing to perform military service, join Nazi organizations, or give allegiance to the Hitler regime. An estimated 10,000 Witnesses were sent to Nazi concentration camps. It is estimated that between 2,000 and 5,000 died in custody, including 250 who were executed. They were the first Christian denomination banned by the Nazi government and the most extensively and intensively persecuted.
  • Auschwitz.net: Prisoner uniforms: By 1937, Nazi regime’s prisoner uniforms made of coarse grey-blue striped material and clogs had become standard issue in the concentration camp system. Each of these striped uniforms used by inmates in Auschwitz and other concentration and death camps was marked with a badge indicating the prisoner’s category and an identification number that henceforth substituted his or her name.
  • Nazi concentration camp badges, primarily triangles, were part of the system of identification in German camps. They were used in the concentration camps in the German-occupied countries to identify the reason the prisoners had been placed there. The triangles were made of fabric and were sewn on jackets and trousers of the prisoners. These mandatory badges of shame had specific meanings indicated by their colour and shape.
