In today's issue of the leading Warsaw newspaper "Gazeta Wyborcza" (15 April 2008) there is a lot of photographs from the ceremonies commemorating the 65th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, led by the Presidents, Lech Kaczynski and Shimon Peres, where this flag is prominently displayed and it is mentioned as the still unofficial,but growing in popularity, flag of the Polish Jewry.
The other flags pictured there are the multitudes of the Israeli flags and some Polish and Warsaw flags.
The flag is in Polish national colors, countercharged shield of David on the white and red fields.
It is a flag of the "Forum Zydow Polskich" (Forum of Polish Jews), an organization of young Polish Jews concerned with the revival of social and cultural Jewish life in Poland. It is above any political or religious divides and aims to enhance the pride of being Jewish in modern Poland to the levels of its pre-war vitality and beyond.
Good review of over 1,000 years of the Jewish history in Poland is presented on wikipedia in English and several other languages.
