Vatican Asked
To Cancel Stamp
Rome (JTA) — The Vatican is say-
ing that it intended no offense to
Jews when the Vatican Post Of-
fice issued a stamp that depicts
Jews wearing the pointed hats of
the medieval ghetto.
"I can assure you that no lack
of respect was intended in the
choice of the stamp in question,"
a Vatican spokesman said. "It is
part of a series of miniatures from
the 13th century," he said.
"In one of them, the artist
showed Jesus speaking to a group
of people and portrayed listeners
wearing headgear that identified
them as Jews."
The Paris office of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center recently asked
the Vatican to withdraw the 2,500
lire, or $1.50, stamp, which it said
encouraged anti-Semitic prejudice
and violated the standards of the
Universal Postal Union.
A letter from the Wiesenthal
Center to the Vatican Commis-
sion on Judaism said the head-
gear was "discriminatory and the
direct precursor to the Nazi yel-
low star" which Jews were made
to wear during World War II.
