Summary

Description
English: Belgian version of the Yellow Badge, compulsory from 1942. It depicts a black letter "J" (standing for "Juif" in French and "Jood" in Dutch) in the center of a yellow star of David. Because there was not enough space to write the word "Jew" in Belgium's two languages, the yellow star was marked only with the letter "J" to stigmatize the Jew wearing it.

Included are the initials of the owner of the yellow badge, who wrote this after the war on his star.

Coll. J. Kutner, Kazerne Dossin, Mechelen

This star was in possession of Jos Kutner, born on 13/02/1911 in Antwerp, Belgium. He was not deported. A lot of family members were deported :
- His father Israël Ziskind KUTNER
- his brothers Marcel Georges and Godolias KUTNER

None of them survived.
