Political prisoners filled Nazi concentration camps, and they were marked with red triangles. Learn the history of the symbol.
Jewish people were given yellow triangles arranged to form the Star of David. The top triangle in the star could be another color to mark them as an additional type of prisoner.And those red triangles were common in the camps. The Auschwitz Memorial tweeted Thursday that 95% of prisoners at Auschwitz were accused of political crimes in August 1944. A letter could also be included inside the triangle to mark a person's nationality, the museum said.
"Social Democrats, Communists, trade unionists and other persons regarded as political opponents by the Nazis wore red triangles. Often a joke about Hitler or a denunciation could suffice for someone to be arrested as a 'political,'" according to an article published by the International Center on Nazi Persecution.
Political opponents were among some of the first victims of Nazi concentration camps, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum reports. People considered"enemies of the state" were housed at various types of camps, some open for more than a decade,The term"concentration camp" can include a variety of incarceration sites, including forced labor camps and"killing centers" used for mass genocide, particularly of Jewish people, the museum says.
