RE: [Cz-L] Magen David and Cross.

Christian, Berti...

Thank you so much for your comments, they are really eye-opening, although in my view too, the Hexagon in Lemberg was not necessarily the Star of David, but I enjoyed the photographic analogy between Czernowitz and Lemberg.

In addition I remember, that both, Jerome and Klaus Binder, my "Der Tag" co-editor from Berlin, stumbeled in 2008 over the interesting combination composed by a cross, a crown, a hexagon and a crescent. However it was a good opportunity to draw the attention to the picturesque Lemberg Lychakiv Cemetery.

The Almogen Riddle persists!
