Nazi Emblem for Asocial people

Asociality was a marking given to prisoners of the Nazi Regime[4] working/living in concentration camps. It was used to describe a prisoner who was seen as “work-shy" or someone who did not participate in work. This typically included people who were beggars, alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, and pacifists. Roma[5] and Sinti[6] people were also classified as 'asocial'. Asocial people were marked with a black inverted triangle.
