Burnt Matches
A Star of David made from many burnt matches appears on the cover of the book Abstraction and the Holocaust by M Godfrey. This work of art titled ‘Yizkor’ is by Jewish conceptualist Mel Bochner, and it was made to remember the fate of the Jews of Rome during the holocaust.
Monkeys
A blue on white Star of David with a monkey appears on Israel Independence 1997 invitation to a party . Why monkey? Well, because the party took place on the roof of a dancing club called Monkeys. Hayim Shtayer took this photo and sent it to me, and I thank him for that.
