– Wrong connotations

says researcher Øyvind Kobrod at the Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies To Aftenposten The label is problematic in several ways. The Nazis were behind the genocide of the Jews. Polish Jews were forced to wear a yellow six-pointed star with the words “Jew” on it.

“The Star of David being thrown in the trash, and ‘Keep the world clean,’ give connotations that I also hope the student doesn’t identify with,” Kopperud says.
