In Budapest, Hungary, yellow-star houses were a prominent feature of the Holocaust. During the Nazi occupation, Jewish residents were compelled to display a yellow Star of David on their homes, identifying them as Jewish and subjecting them to persecution. These marked houses served as a visible means of segregating and isolating the Jewish population.

Jewish residents faced increased hostility and harassment from anti-Semitic individuals. Jews living in these houses experienced heightened vulnerability and restricted access to basic necessities.
