Swastika And The Star Of David By Grp. 5…4… 3…..2…..1…….and……ACTION!!!!!! Description The swastika is one of the most popular symbols then and now It used to be a very famous sign until Adolf Hitler made it infamous. The swastika is a equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles all in the same rotary direction. Because of its famousness it is used in Buddhism and Hinduism. History Nobody knows how the swastika came about there are some theories but none are sure. The earliest archaeological evidence of a swastika motif dates from the Upper Paleolithic period (ca. 10,000 BCE) which were carved on tusks etc. Theories Another explanation is suggested by Carl Sagan in his book Comet, proposing that the symbol was inspired by a comet approaching Earth closely enough that the jets of gas streaming from it, bent by the comet's rotation, became visible. This explanation has found some adherents among catastrophists History In his 1925 work Mein Kamph, Adolf Hitler wrote that:I myself, meanwhile, after innumerable attempts, had laid down a final form; a flag with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle. After long trials I also found a definite proportion between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and thickness of the swastika. Importance This sign was very important especially to the Nazis because this was their flag and they used it to represent sun power life strength and good luck. For the Jews it meant hate, antisemitism (hate of Jews), violence, death, and murder. Description The star of David is a Jewish symbol composed of two overlaid triangles that form a six-pointed star. It appears on synagogues tombstones and the flag of Israel. The six points symbolize God's rule over the universe in all six directions. Description There are many theories on what the star is one of them is Kabbalah teaches that G-d created the world with seven spiritual building blocks—His seven emotional attributes. Accordingly, the entire creation is a reflection of these seven foundational attributes. They are: Chesed (Kindness), Gevurah (Severity), Tiferet (Harmony), Netzach (Perseverance), Hod (Splendor), Yesod (Foundation) and Malchut These attributes are divided into three columns: right, center and left: Gevurah Tiferet Chesed Hod Yesod Netzach Malchut Correspondingly, the Star of David contains seven compartments—six peaks protruding from a center History Originally, the Hebrew name Magen David -literally "Shield of David" -- poetically referred to God. It acknowledges that our military hero, King David, did not win by his own might, but by the support of the Almighty. This is also alluded to in the third blessing after the Haftorah reading on Shabbat: "Blessed are you God, Shield of David." History A popular folk tale etymology has it that the Star of David is literally modeled after the shield of the young Israelite warrior David, who would later become King David. In order to save metal, the shield was not made of metal but of leather spanned across the simplest metal frame that would hold the round shield: two interlocking triangles. No reliable historical evidence for this etymology exists; this theory is refuted by a credible tradition that there was a Menorah engraved upon the shield which King David used in wartime. Importance The star of David was used by the Germans to find out who were Jews and to kill them but no one knows why Hitler ordered these killings. For the Jews the star of David is a sacred because it was used by King David. The Germans they made the Jews wear a yellow star of David at their clothing to make them easily recognizable Thank you all for listening By Group 5 Hayzz to you!!
