Hi all,

As promised I uploaded a couple of more detailed pictures of the two stars I have gotten from my grandmother.

Hi. Just wanted to share with you my collection of Jewish stars of David, which were used to identify the Jews all over Europe during the Third Reich.

First one is a well known one: the "Jude" star, used in Germany and Poland among other countries.

Interesting, but is this really the right section?

[Thorsten B.]

One can find these pieces also in the exhibition regarding the history of the SS in the Wewelsburg museum as well as in many other places ruled by the SS.

If these stars do not belong into this specific context give me an idea where to put them.

I don´t have a single one of them and so my collection regarding the history of the SS is definitely missing something important.

Die Kneipe perhaps?

Die Kneipe perhaps?

...???


Although historical relevant I guess and to each what he wants to collect, still a topic like this should be treated with the outmost respect and reserve is my opinion. These stars represent much more and different layers then your average SS insignia.

Die Kneipe perhaps?

wow...Denial perhaps?

All of us that "ooh and ahh" at the SS insignia, also from time to time need to take a long hard look at the dark side of this regalia. It's certainly not pretty, but it does provide perspective. Collect what you want, but don't turn a blind eye to the what this kind of artifact represents.

"Never Forget"

wow...Denial perhaps?

Denial of what?

[Obergruppen2]

My wife is jewish, want her ?

[Thorsten B.]

Too bad - I already got my piece of flesh.

...but mine would go well with the stars
