From 1941 or 1942 onwards all Jews living in Germany and in most areas under German occupation had to wear a yellow star of David on their outermost items of clothing. The purpose was to make them easily recognizable as Jews.

It is not important. It isn't mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, or the Talmud, or the Code of Jewish Law.

The Star of David is a symbol of minor significance, used very little until recent centuries.

Is the star of David recognised by Jehovahs witnesses?

Jehovah's Witnesses study very carefully the 'origins' of things before accepting them with any kind of importance or validity. If something is NOT found in the BIBLE, then we are very careful about it.The 'star of David' is not found in the Bible. It is a 'NON-BIBLICAL' symbol, which Judaism has taken to itself. It seems that even David himself had no knowledge of the 'Star of David'.Here is what one authority states about the 'Star of David':"The origins of the Star of David are unclear.""The Star of David is not mentioned in rabbinic literature until the middle ages.""It doesn't have any religious significance in Judaism but it is one of the symbols most commonly associated with the Jewish people."So if it does not even have any 'religious significance' in Judaism; why would it have any significance among Jehovah's Witnesses.
