(a) Yellow cotton badge with unfinished edges. There is a 6 pointed Star of David outline in black dye with the word Jude in the center. (b) typed narrative on paper that reads"On a cloudy damp morning in early March 1943 this tattered yellow Star of David was removed from the emaciated chest of 8 year old Mendel Kaliminsky, by his father Solomon. Five minutes later he was cremated in the murder factory of Treblinka. This was all Solomon Kaliminsky had left, after the degenerate Nazi's murdered, by shooting and gassing 11 members of his family. The Star of David was made mandatory for all Israelites to wear, on special orders issued by te pervert Adolph Hitler. It was given to the Israelite Reprisal Brigade, by Mr. Kaliminsky, who never forgot that horrible morning in March 1943. With rancor and without mercy, we will destroy all predators and enemies of the Israelite peoples. Rene Batoff; Director of Information; Israelite Reprisal Brigade" Verso, a price tag,"$165.00"
