Billy Joel dons Jewish star against Neo-Nazis

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/22/entertainment/billy-joel-yellow-star/index.html



Billy Joel may wear his heart on his sleeve in his songs, but Monday night he wore the Star of David to make a statement.
Joel, whose parents are Jewish, wore the symbolic yellow stars on the front and back of his jacket while performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Those of the Jewish faith were required to wear a yellow Star of David as identification in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II.
