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.

This is the most “loyal to the content” photo on the cover of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion: Herzl sitting with the Elders of Zion.
