The Center for Jewish History is the home of five preeminent Jewish institutions dedicated to history, culture, and art. It unites under one roof collections that bring together centuries of Jewish life: The American Jewish Historical Society, founded in 1892, has extensive collections of documents, books, paintings, and memorabilia that bear witness to the remarkable contributions of the American Jewish community to life in the Americas from the 16th century to the present.

    Why would he be holding a rooster with what appears to be the face of Czar Nicholas II? Does it mean something to have one's face on a rooster?
  • autoclavicle said:
    I'm guessing it is possibly a reference to the kapparot ceremony, which would take place between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur: www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/kapparot.html

    It means that the (((devil's chosen))) performed a sacrificial ritual on the Tsar and his family.

    ... tho i was not anywhere near the holocaust & tho i am not of a religious sect. i do find the persecution put upon the jewish people @ the satanic hands of the nazi(s) so atrocious. it was not only the jewish people ; gypsy & others were targeted, also. i am not a historian. i am a humanitarian. any genocide is an act (hateful) against the spirit of life which i say ... is "god". the spirit of life is god.
