1928 Silver Medal Badge German Artist Society New York Skull Jewish Members

Description

I did a search on the internet for this society, and a page come up entirely in German, an article announcing a museum exhibit in 1999. I used Google translate and this is what it states:
The banners of the international association of artists "Safe as Jold", founded in 1892 in Berlin, were recently rediscovered. The parents of the 94-year-old artist and actress Klara Ksoll from Stahnsdorf (district of Potsdam-Mittelmark) had not surrendered the traditional banner in 1934 in spite of a request from the Nazi authorities, but kept it in the attic of their house. At the end of last year, the 1.80 by 2.50 meter flag was found there. Klara Ksoll and her daughter Christine handed over the traditional banners, which had been handcrafted by the artists themselves, to the International Artist Museum in Klosterfelde. For museum director Roland Weise, the found flag is "the oldest German artist banner". "Because according to today's knowledge, only this traditional banner of the founding association of Berlin and the banner of the section Halle survived the Nazi period, says Weise. The National Socialists would have it special on the artists association" Safe as Jold "apart, because its board many Jews belonged says the founder and owner of the Klosterfelder Museum, the officials were arrested, confiscated, and the Nazis had destroyed all the symbols of the association they had fallen into their hands, so the banner was not counted on The association "Safe Like Jold" was considered a social and social association of artists, which also had a so-called "death fund." This was a social achievement at the beginning of the 20th century, although most artists were very poor can provide a decent burial, says Weise. The two historical B Anner will be on view in the new exhibition of the artist museum from March 12th. The show will show "unique props and documents from the history of artists" as well as exhibits from the history of the Deutschlandhalle, the Friedrichstadtpalast and other Berlin variety theaters and their artists, Roland Weise announces.
