Roni Kagan from Collect Forum website sent me this photo of an envelope with a Czechoslovakian stamp depicting Jewish
scientist David Ganz (1541-1613) tombstone in Prague which was the first Jewish tombstone, which carried on it the Star of David symbol; apparently because the title of Gans’ astronomy book was Magen David.
In the mid 1600 Swedish forces attacked Prague and the Jews helped to defend the city for the emperor Emperor Ferdinand II.
