I feel like if it was meant to depict the Holocaust, there would be some sign of it in the form of insignia or identifiable clothing. For what its...

Welcome to the board! What if you find a small glass or plastic liner for the jars? Would that work?
I braved the heat today and ventured out to my usual flea market. Some vendors were already starting to pack up by the time I arrived (9:30), but...
