The purple triangle was a concentration camp badge used by the Nazis to identify Bibelforscher (the name for Jehovah’s Witnesses at the time) in Nazi Germany. The purple triangle was introduced in July 1936 with other concentration camps such as those of Dachau and Buchenwald following in 1937 and 1938.[1] In the winter of 1935-36, before the onset of the war, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been reported to make up 20-40% of the prisoners in concentration camps.
