From May 1942 onwards, all Jews of six years and older had to wear yellow badges. These badges resembled the Star of David, abusing a Jewish religious symbol. They marked the wearers as Jews, for all the world to see. Like these children in Amsterdam, pretending that they are going camping. Jews were treated as a separate group and thus became increasingly isolated.
