Reread the following passage from Night. “Three days later, a new decree (ruling): every Jew had to wear the yellow star.
Some prominent members of the community came to consult with my father, who had connections at the upper levels of the Hungarian police; they wanted to know what he thought of the situation. My father’s view was that it was not all bleak, or perhaps he just did not want to discourage the others, to throw salt on their wounds:
‘The yellow star? So what? It’s not lethal…’
(Poor Father! Of what then did you die?) (11)

What does "The yellow star"
What idea or deeper meaning does the symbol represent?
