All the prisoners uniforms were marked with triangles. It was the color that said why they werre in the camps.
Political prisoners (including resistance fighters and Soviet prisoners of war) wore red triangles.
Jehovah's Witnesses wore purple triangles.
“Anti-socials” (including lesbians, prostitutes, and Gypsies) wore black triangles.
Criminals (common criminals or those who broke Nazi imposed laws) wore green triangles.
Jews wore yellow triangles.
Homosexuals wore pink triangles.
If a Jewish person was in for two "reasons", the triangles overlapped. Example, a Jewish man accused of being gay would have the yellow triangle, point up, showing his Jewish status. Over the yellow triangle, a pink triangle, point down, to show he was also gay. Together, the triangles would form a mockery of the Star Of David.
