Pittsburgh

I had some difficulty reconciling myself in the use of the Star of David to commemorate those who were killed in Pittsburgh PA over the weekend. But then it occurred to me. It was anti-semitism that drove a man to commit mass murder, and it was anti-semitism that prompted the persecution of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe. They were forced to wear the Star of David on their clothing, prior to being rounded up for mass slaughter. It's not inappropriate. It's spot on.

Once again, I attach the image of the flame to a post. I normally only use it once a year, on November 9th, the anniversary of the Reichskristallnacht. This is the second time I have had to use it this year, and it is not even November 9th yet.
