Holocaust - JOOD Cloth Star of David in Dutch Version!
Holocaust - Used JOOD version cloth Star of David for Dutch Jews. This star was the one used to identify the Jews within the Netherlands during III Reich. It had the word JOOD written within a yellow star representing the Jewish symbol of the Star of David, using a lettering that ressembled the hebraic writting. This star was cut from sheet and stitched reinforcing the edges by folding them. In this case it was probably unstitched from some jacket or dress and the threads are still visible. It's made from the legit fabric with typical weaving and stamped with black ink. This one is in used condition. JOOD stars were same size and manufacturing as JUDE version stars, but obviously these are rarer since the number of Dutch Jews was sensibly smaller. Finding these stars nowadays is becoming very difficult, and most of them are in private collections and museums all over the world. This is the true iconic item of the Holocaust along with the striped concentration camp uniforms and barbed wire from fences. A piece of history in your hands!
Condition: excellent
