Nov 3 - Yellow Star.jpg

Thorin Tritter, HMTC’s museum, and programming director, talked about the yellow star that Jews in Poland were forced to wear beginning in November of 1939, and that became a tool in the Nazi’s discrimination and later murder of Jews. The program discussed the several stars in HMTC’s collection and the larger context of the Nazi genocidal plan.
