“Accessory” during the Shoah

The yellow star as a visual stigma

In my thesis I explore stories related to the yellow star in memoires and diaries about World War 2 in Hungary, in a sociological context and as a visual stigma. I describe the period when “laws smoothed the way for crimes that became the norm”. (László Márton, 1999. Árnyas főutca. Pécs: Jelenkor kiadó.)
