Dominican Republic Postage Stamp

Dominican Republic postage stamp Blue Star of David

In 1998 the Dominican Republic issued a postage stamp that marks 50 years of Israeli independence. Blue Star of David on white background is located in the center of the stamp. Maybe the reason behind the issuing of this stamp is connected to the Dominican Republic’s acceptance of Jews fleeing Hitler who had been refused entry by other countries during the Holocaust.

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.
