Comment what's the "H. J. K." written on the badge? Is it original? If not, could/should it be removed? – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:39, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is an original signature --Andrei (talk) 05:12, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Would you happen to know what it stands for? If it's original to the time period I'm inclined to support given its tragic historical significance. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 07:14, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Museum exhibition has no details but that's most likely the owners name. I am trying to contact the museum for clarification. --Andrei (talk) 08:14, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess it's the wearer's initials. If so, fine, but if we don't know that's a problem. – Sca (talk) 15:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have an answer from the museum. Those are the initials of the owner of the yellow badge, who wrote this after the war on his star. This star was in possession of Jos Kutner, born on 13/02/1911 in Antwerp, Belgium. He was not deported. A lot of family members were deported : His father Israël Ziskind KUTNER, his brothers Marcel Georges and Godolias KUTNER. None of them did survive. --Andrei (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that is tragic. Support. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 22:01, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to thank Dr. Laurence Schram for this information --Andrei (talk) 22:07, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
