Hello Folks, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the Hohner family of
Germany was or is Jewish. There's been some talk on the Chromatic Harmonica
list that the Star of David that was on their harmonica cover plates was an
indication of their Jewishness. Others say it was merely a design element. It
was ordered removed by the National Socialists in 1939. Its one way to date
older instruments.Any one have a clue?, or actual documentation. Thanks Much ,
Al Watsky
