Is a star made from two triangles always a symbol of Judaism?
Wow, your post gave me the chills. Yes, that is a Jewish sign, so is the Lion, which is a symbol for God in Judaism. She was probably forced to practice Catholicism as were many Jews back in the day to avoid anti-semitism. For example, I have an old Jewish silver Russian bible pointer and on the tip of it is a beautiful hand carved lion (standing on top of a crown), with a “star of David” (the 2 triangles). God is also symbolized as a King and all Torahs (bibles) in a Jewish synagogue are decorated with a crown. I strongly believe she was Jewish. Your grandmother’s history is also similar to Einstein’s (a Jew) in that Einstein moved to Italy when he was young, where he wrote his first scientific paper, and after that moved to Switzerland where he renounced his German citizenship and got a Swiss citizenship which he kept his whole life, and where he met his first wife and got his degree in physics. http://www.judaism.com/
