The imposition of the yellow star on Jews in France, 80 years on On May 29, 1942, a German order made it compulsory for all Jews over the age of 6 years old living in France’s occupied zone to wear a yellow star. This discriminatory measure came into effect just over a week later – and contributed to the process of mass deportations to concentration and extermination camps. Eighty years on, the yellow star remains the horrific symbol of the persecution of Jews in France during World War II.
