Stephen Lucas · Answer 1

The Star of David in Anne Frank's the diary of a Young Girl symbolizes the branding of Jews as outcasts in Nazi Germany.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

According to Anne Frank, the yellow star became an allegory of not only the holocaust but religious oppression too. Although it symbolizes Judaism, it was used during the holocaust to symbolize that the rights of the people wearing it have been suspended.

People who wore this star were not allowed to access resources and places which are not assigned to them, like roads and markets. Strict curfews were imposed on them. They were discriminated in educational institutions too.
