This Yellow Star (of David)

 

In my home on a bookshelf

there's a mini Yad Vashem

It's one of the books I read

even as a child -too young-

well one of the first like the

secret annex by Anne, that

absorbed me, but this one 

was a photo book, a horror

imprinted, never ever to be

forgotten. To be passed on

to those that survive Gaza.

Note.

The title of the book in Dutch is: De Gele Ster*; it is beyond me how a people, that suffered a Holocaust, can take revenge on so many innocents in the way that is now unfolding in Gaza.

It's almost like one who was badly abused during childhood then, later in life, repeating it all..
..except, this time it's not the victim but the descendant of the victim who is the perpetrator..
