On Holocaust Day everyone should carry on his garment  a yellow star 
and see himself as if he got out of Auschwitz
Just as in Passover
  "one must see himself as if he came out from Egypt"
(Mishnah Pesachim 10:5 and Haggadah)

Out of hundreds of art works published here or on flickr 

I chose some

Each of which emphasizes a single layer of meaning

of the infinite depth of our National Symbol

I love the Jews in New York.
