(AUTHENTIC JEWISH STAR)
"An authentic cloth Star of David from the Holocaust, which was worn on the outerwear by Jews in order to make them more easily identifiable to their persecutors. While these stars have been reproduced in recent years, this one shows evidence of wear and soiling, is thicker than the reproductions, and the Star remains sewn to a large piece of leather clothing, presumably a jacket, which shows considerable wear. It was not uncommon for the star on a piece of clothing to be replaced several times in the life of the wearer, as Jews were often penalized by the Germans if their Stars showed considerable soiling. Overall very good." 2221 An authentic cloth Star of David from the Holocaust, which was worn on the outerwear by Jews in order to make them more easily identifiable to their persecutors.
