Non-Israeli Star of David Postage Stamps

This video clip is based on a PowerPoint presentation that I converted to video format by using an elegant software called wondershare PPT to YouTube. The presentation is arranged by alphabetic order of the names of the countries that issued stamps which carry Star of David on them. I reckon that most of you readers didn’t know that such stamps even existed. Since I copied the images from the WWW most resolutions are quite poor and in case you’ve got better images I’ll be glad to replace the current ones.

Liberation of the Nazi Camps

A Yellow Badge appears on a 1995 American commemorative issue of September 1995 commemorating the Liberation of the Nazi Camps.

End of Second World War Envelops

Impressive Jewish Brigade posters from the forties upon Postage envelops marking 50 years to the end of Second World War; issued by Israel in 1995. In each poster we see the Jewish Brigade emblem - the Star of David.

Uruguay Salutes the Maccabiah

Star of David appears on a Uruguay postage stamp issued in 1991 to mark the Jewish sport games. I can understand the interest of the Israeli Postal Authority to issue such stamps, but why would any Uruguayan citizen be interested in such a subject seems enigmatic to me.

Togo, Friendship with Israel Stamp

Star of David appears on a postage stamp issued by Togo in 1965. The Friendship lasted until 1973 War. In 1987 Togo renewed diplomatic ties with Israel.

The Synagogue of Cordoba

Star of David appears on a sheet of postage stamps issued by Spain in 1998 titled History Building Jewish Castle Caminos De Sefarad. The Synagogue of Cordoba is on top left.
