Tennessee Store Beneath Fireplace for Promoting Wearable Yellow Stars of David That Say ‘Not Vaccinated’
A store in Nashville, Tennessee, comes under fire after promoting its newest product, the portable yellow Star of David, which mimics the Nazi symbol that Jews were forced to wear. It reads: not vaccinated. A few days ago Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said wearing a mask during the pandemic was “exactly” like the Holocaust.
The company that spelled its name “WRKS “posted a picture of the article on Instagram and said,” Patches are here !! ” they turned out great. $ 5ea. String glue back…. We will soon be offering trucker caps. “
Hitler’s Nazis murdered an estimated 6 million Jews during the Holocaust from 1941 to 1945.
Hours after the post promoting the stars rose, the store released a second post that appears to be a defense of the stars. All of the texts on a yellow background ask whether the people “who are so indignant about my contribution … are indignant about the tyranny that the world is experiencing”.
This “tyranny” is being forced to wear a mask in public during a pandemic that killed over 600,000 people in the US and more than 3.5 million people worldwide. Masks have been shown to significantly reduce the spread of the virus and can also protect the wearer.
This second post also claims that “offering silence and compliance … is the worst crime”.
“I will erase your disgust and hope you will put it where it belongs,” the post concludes.

On Instagram, commentators are both angry and appalled:
“Please stop playing down the extermination of millions of people in the most egregious genocide the world has ever seen.”
“That is repulsive”
“You are crazy.”
“Anti-Semitic Garbage.”
“You really want to look like a victim when, in fact, you are a wanton pathogen that your community ignores. Nice job dragging a historical tragedy through the mud “
“What the hell is wrong with you? You’re not a Jew in a concentration camp. Nobody is going to gass you or burn your body. That’s mean.”
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum published an “Open Letter to American Leaders and Citizens from a Community of Holocaust Survivors.”
“We are seeing an alarming confluence of events that we never thought we would experience in our adopted country,” warn the 50 members of “uncontrolled anti-Semitism” and “targeted violence”.

What about the actual fuck? I live in Nashville and that’s terrible on a human level. The yellow star was a way to dehumanize the Jewish people. It’s repulsive. What can be done #Antisemitism #hatwrks #repulsive

@hatWRKS you are disgusting and ignorant. Why don’t you speak to someone who was wearing a yellow Star of David and saw their families murdered and their communities desecrated?

BOYCOTT @hatwrks – They sell yellow Jewish stars (as they were used in the actual Holocaust to identify and exterminate millions) as it represents their freedom to wear a surgical mask to prevent further deaths after the deaths of 580,000 Americans.

Wowww 🤬
The hatWRKS (Hatworks) store in Nashville proudly sells yellow stars with the words “Not Vaccinated” …
All of my grandparents’ families were killed in the Holocaust. Their bodies were burned. This corresponds to the COVID precautionary measures.
