Israeli official disgraced the memory of the Holocaust by comparing war on Hamas to WWII, memorial museum says

• An Israeli envoy wore a Nazi-era yellow star at a UN Security Council meeting.
• The move was condemned by the director of Israel's Holocaust-memorial museum Yad Vashem.
• He said wearing the patch dishonors Holocaust survivors and the State of Israel.

After an Israeli envoy wore a Nazi-era yellow star to a Security Council meeting, an Israeli Holocaust memorial museum quickly condemned him.

The director of Yad Vashem, Dani Dayan, described the stunt by Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, as a disgrace to Holocaust survivors and the State of Israel.
