Instant Identifier
Yair Vardi drew this blunt caricature, that accuses the Israeli society and government of neglecting helpless Holocaust survivors.
Translation from Hebrew caption: In Israel there are about 260000 Holocaust survivors, third of them live in poverty.
The Yellow Badge is used here as an instant identifier of Holocaust survivors, and that’s why I publish it here.

Nechama Golan, The Tears of the Homeland
Photo is courtesy of Bnei Brak artist, Nechama Golan. It took part in an art exhibition titled: Layers of Memory that was held in Zaritzky Artists House in Tel Aviv in 2007.We see a Jewish angle and a Moslem angle watching the tears of the Israeli-Palestinian homeland, which is divided between two entities that produce only suffering (tears). The Star of David is used here as an identifier of angles- a totally original concept- how didn’t we think about it ourselves?

When I look at it, I reflect about the Nazi salute, but during the Holocaust the Star of David was a symbol of weakness, and look how proud it is now, towards our 60th Independence Day. The two versions of the same image lead the interested spectator to make comparisons…
