1930réf. 75576Los Angeles: N.p. 1930-1934. Scrapbook filled with letters cards printed announcements photographs and invitations put together by Irma Cleveland Matron of the Triangle Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star/ Original string-tied oblong album of buff boards with a laid down color illustration. The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonic appendant body open to both men and women. It was established in 1850 172 years ago by lawyer and educator Rob Morris a noted Freemason and adopted and approved as an appendant body of the Masonic Fraternity in 1873. The order is based on some teachings from the Bible and is open to people of all religious beliefs. It has approximately 10000 chapters in twenty countries and approximately 500000 members under its General Grand Chapter. It is still going strong.Members of the Order of the Eastern Star are aged 18 and older; men must be Master Masons and women must have specific relationships with Masons. Originally a woman would have to be the daughter widow wife sister or mother of a Master Mason. The Order now allows other relatives as well as allowing Job's Daughters Rainbow Girls Members of the Organization of Triangles NY only and members of the Constellation of Junior Stars NY only to become members when of age. Irma Cleveland and her husband Harry to a lesser extent was very active in this organization. Basically this album covers 1931 to 1933 but there are at least 100 printed items. Apparently she rose to the rank of Matron highest rank possible in her Lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star; Triangle Lodge No. 548 in Venice California. But she was a busy gal as there are printed materials from Lodges all over Southern California: Coronado Santa Monica Palms Culver City Beverly Hills Ocean Park Long Beach and the Grand Lodge. There is an interesting original photograph of initiates going through the ceremony at the Long Beach Lodge. It is not clear what they are wearing but some kind of Greenman costume. Basically the Order of the Eastern Star was a way for married couples to become Freemasons together as the Scottish Rite etc. was just for men. N.p. hardcover

1943réf. 53630Tunisia 1943. Nearly Fine. Five-pointed yellow cloth star sewn onto plain beige cloth 7.3 by 9 cm. Yellow dye somewhat faded else in fine state of preservation. Specimen of the yellow star imposed on the Jewish population of Tunisia in March 1943 as a mark of the slave laboror. Tunisia was the only Islamic country to come under Nazi rule at first indirectly through the Vichy regime in France between 1940 and its liberation by Allied forces on May 7 1943. In response to the Allied invasion of Algeria and Morocco German and Italian forces invaded Tunisia on November 9 1942. By the end of November the Germans took the first anti-Jewish move by arresting four of the community leaders including Moïse Borgel the president of the Jewish congregation. "In addition to the governor-general's sympathetic attitude -- and in some degree to the pro-Jewish attitude of Bey Sidi Mohammed al-Mounsaf -- the Italians also in practice interfered with the application of the anti-Jewish laws" E.H. The dignitaries were released after a week following the intervention of the mayor of Tunis and the Italian consul. Because of objections by the Italians the edict to wear the star does not appear to have been generally enforced with rigor and was only formally imposed in two cities Sfax and Tunis. While 5000 Jews had originally been put on forced labor in thirty locations and camps along the front line "at the time of the collapse and surrenter in early May 1943 only sixteen hundred Jews were employed on forced labor" E.H. Given the relatively small labor force and the lack of zeal in imposing the anti-Jewish ordinances it is clear why so few of these yellow badges have survived. References: I. Gutman ed.
