Penalty for not wearing yellow stars

This is a special edition of the Dutch Jewish weekly newspaper which was ordered to be published by the Nazis occupying Holland in August 1942. There are three points of order for the Jews. The punishment for all of them is to be sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp; point 2 refers to the wearing of the yellow star. It is interesting to note that no explanation was needed about what Mauthausen was.
