OK, look. I really don't mean to be a Politically Correct dork about this. But i saw this display in a lovely christmas market in Wurzburg, Germany.
Of all the possible shape and color combinations one could use for the labels of products available for sale, i felt as though a six-pointed yellow star was not an ideal selection, given the geographical and historical context. This isn't a reflection on anyone i've met here, everyone's been fantastic. maybe i'm being hypersensitive. But really, c'mon.
Hi guys,
ReplyDeletefirst of all: thanks for your visit, I had a lot of fun.
To talk about the star: it´s in your head. We in Germany have no bad reflections anymore to that sign. Hitler is dead for a long time now, the generation who links a yellow stars to Jews is gone and so NO german person would ever reflect over a yellow star like that.
I think it´s sad that this is all you have to post from your visit in Würzburg...
Anyway, have a save trip!
