Six and One

The Star of David has six triangles surrounding one hexagon.  Drawing same sized circles around a main circle always ends up in six - not five, not seven. This alludes to the six days of creation in Genesis and the one day of rest; to the six working days and the one day of rest… Six years of slavery and freedom on the seventh… Six years of planting and letting the land rest on the seventh… six candlesticks surrounded the Menorah in the Tabernacle, three from each side.

In this photomontage I put the White Lilium Candidum on six Israeli coins that show the Lilium engraved on stone and it fits nicely the six and one coins that allude to the Star of David.

Names of Websites

There are 9370 websites with the words Star of David in their URL and those of you who know the technical side of the web will understand the meaning of this huge number. For me it is just another indicator that shows how powerful this emblem is. Among those websites I found many commercial sites that sell jewelry and a few interesting ones like:
Hanukkah coloring page
This site offers kids a drawing of the Star of David that can be colored online or off line .
Star of David Posters at AllPosters.com.
Books with a Star of David on the front cover like:
Bat Mitzvah Scrapbook
Bar Mitzvah Photo Album
Guest Book
A spam blog for Star of David Door Entry Knocker with hundreds of repetitions on the words Star of David Door Entry Knocker
The Star of David Kosher Soap "Made from the natural oils of lemon and eucalyptus extract and pure vegetable oil".

Supply and Demand

Looking for websites with the words Star of David in their domain name I stumbled upon one that deals with Faked Yellow Badges. The web master explains

 

I have been concerned during recent years by the number of fake badges which are flooding onto the market as more and more people try to acquire a little bit of 'Holocaust history'…

I've got to admit – I never thought such a phenomenon is possible. Did you?

Nazi Propaganda

The Star of David was used by anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda to symbolize Jews:
A drawing of a snake with Jewish Stars of David attacking a German naked woman was introduced as evidence at the Nuremberg trials to show how Nazi Germany fed the hatred to the Jews.
Josef Plank drew an octopus with a Star of David over its head grabbing the world.
Bauer published in 1936 a Children's Book titled "Don't Trust a Fox/Trust Not the Jew," One of the pictures shows an "ugly" Jew eating while on the wall over his head there's a calendar with a Star of David.
A drawing on a red background of a black rectangle with an "ugly" Jew in the center of a white Star of David.
WWII anti-American book shows Roosevelt as a puppet of the Jews under the American Stars (of David) and stripes flag.
In 1938 Nazi Propaganda Ministry requested from German film companies to make anti-Semitic films. Among those films were:
The Rothschilds: The film shows how Jewish Rothschild banking family made fortune from the blood of the Germans in the time of the wars of Napoleon. England appears as a society dominated by Jews. The final scene shows a Star of David over the map of England.

Hakoah of Vienna

Sporting club Hakoah of Vienna (1909- 1941) was the largest Jewish sporting club in the world in its time. It had more than 5,000 members that took part in a wide variety of sports activities wearing the Hakoah emblem with its Star of David.

Modern Legend

Yaakov Goldberg wrote this on 21 Sep 1992 but I found it only this morning:

The story about king of Denmark who wore the Yellow Badge during WWII is a legend. It never happened. Yaakov Goldberg quoted from an article published by Danish anthropologist Jens Lund who claimed that it was a fictionalization contrived by Leon Uris in his 1958 novel, Exodus.

This story made me disappointed: I always admired those brave righteous people who risked their lives to help Jews escape from the Nazis. Now I'll have to admire one less.
