Description

Text in English. Printed broadside with yellow Jewish Star hand-painted.

summary

Nazi-issued broadside requiring Jews to wear in public a Star of David on their clothing. According to the proclamation, distribution of the Jewish Stars will be at Synagoge Lange Begijnstraat 31, Haarlem. The synagogue at that address, was founded in 1841, it was destroyed by fire in 1953. Due to the incongruity of the proclamation in English rather than Dutch, the origin of the poster remains unclear.

Crudely laid down, few tears. 21 1/2 x 31 1/2 inches
