It is King David's Star of David. The Star of David represents the unity of the Jewish people since the Jewish people were all united in the days of King David. In this era where Jews are scattered all over the world, this power of this unifying symbol is still stronger.
The Star of David symbolises Judaism, in the same way that the cross symbolises Christianity.
The Star of David, which is actually called 'The Shield of David' in Hebrew, is a national non-religious symbol for Jews. It's true origin is unknown but Jewish tradition says that King David's shield had this shape.
The most prominent Jewish symbol is usually called the Star of David, but this is a misnomer. The Hebrew is not Kochav David (Star of David) but Magen David (Shield of David). David was an Israelite King and a renowned warrior. The Shield of David is the emblem on the shield he brought with him into battle with Canaanite Tribes and the Philistines. It became a symbol of the protection that God gave to the Israelite Kingdom under his and Solomon's reigns. In more modern times it is seen as symbol of Jewish unity since Jews consider themselves to be descendants of the very Israelites that David protected with his Shield.
"Jews during the Holocaust were required to wear the yellow star to let everybody know that they were Jewish." Nope, the six sided yellow star, though it doesn't have to be yellow, is the Star of David, and it is the symbol of the Jewish religion.
During the Holocaust, those who didn't wear the Star of David were shot.
It was cut from fabric and sewn onto the clothing of a Jewish person to show that he or she was Jewish.
If you mean how were Jews identified, they were made to wear a white armband which had a yellow star on it so that everyone knew they were jewish. :)
It was used by the Nazis to label jews, and make them easily recognizable as being jews.
