I have been collecting bookplates for about 10 years – Ephraim Moses Lilien & Arthur Szyk are my favorite Jewish artists. Besides the bookplates of Lilien I also collect his postcards. I started out collecting American bookplates about 30 years ago – I still search for them- I collect famous Americans,primarily of the 20th century. I also have Jewish bookplates of Budko, a friend of Lilien & Ariel Birenbaum.

Yellow Badge in Berlin

Photo is courtesy of "Smutchings" who published it on Flickr under the title Labelled Jew. Smutchings doesn’t say it but I reckon he shot it in Berlin Holocaust Museum. Eventhough the badge is white on black it is evident that it was yellow when the picture was taken. The photo has a powerful impact not only because it is powerful but also because it is exhibited in Berlin, the capital city of the Evil Empire of the Third Reich.
