Pair of World War II German Jewish identification stars consisting of a yellow cloth Star of David embroidered with the word "Jude" in black Gothic script, and a six-pointed metal star badge marked "Deutsche Juden-Ausstellung Lemberg Galizien." The cloth star was mandated by Nazi authorities to identify Jews in occupied territories, while the metal star originates from the Lemberg (Lwów) Jewish Exhibition in Galicia, reflecting the oppressive identification measures imposed during the Holocaust. The cloth star features stitched edges and black backing, with handwritten "Lwow" on the reverse, linking it to the city of Lwów (Lemberg) in Eastern Poland, present-day Ukraine. The metal star exhibits stamped lettering indicative of official Nazi usage for Jewish identification or exhibition purposes in that region. These artifacts illustrate the enforced labeling and segregation of Jews under the German occupation in Eastern Europe during the early 1940s.
