Wieliczka is a small town near Krakow, which has a famous salt mine. A Jewish Star was cut into the salt of one of its walls to remind the Auschwitz Jews who had to work there for the Nazis.
This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.

Dror Auslander "Lool" Yemenite-Jews
Painter Dror Auslander told me that when he made this series of works about the popular TV parody called “Lool” (hen-house) many of his colleagues tried to stop him, saying that investing in Zionism is a "total loss" since nobody is interested in Zionism any more. Dror didn't listen to them, fortunately.

and famous Israeli film director Uri Zohar (who represent the Yemenite-Jews) mocking the good manners of the German-Jews.
This work is showing now in the Star of David Exhibition in Yavne Gallery, which was opened on the 23 March 2007. Curator: Roni Reuven.
