A source of inspiration

Yellow Badge sculpture It is such a great honor to be a source of inspiration for an artist!
I just got three days ago a present from Dr. Martin Kieselstein, who was so pleased from his participation in the Tel Aviv Star of David Album Exhibit that he made me this work which is showing a Yellow Star rising from the blood of the victims
I took the photo when the work was placed on the couch at his home. Now it is situated on a shelf above my head when I'm working.
Today I got a work from Jennifer Gottschalk (showing a Yellow Rose) whose work “yellow Star” will be presented in a few days for a whole month in the Holocaust Yellow Badge Art Exhibit in Zephath.

Palestinian Yellow Stars of David

An image that shows the letters of the word 'Palestinian' in English and in Hebrew on Holocaust Jewish yellow stars of David instead of the word JUDE in the original badge is attached to an article By Shraga Elam from 17 March 2002 about more than 200 people who have demonstrated against the “escalating genocide committed by the Israeli armed forces”.

On the main protest vehicle were 20 large yellow stars of David carried by the demonstrators. On some of the placards was written the slogan "Stop the bloodbath in the Middle East!", while others carried the slogan "Never again Shoa”.
