Here is a higher quality version of this image.

Per here:

A photograph taken in 1932 by Rachel, wife of Rabbi Akiva Posner, of their candle-lit Hanukkah menorah against the backdrop of the Nazi flags flying from the building across from their home in Kiel Germany

Per here:

Rachel had written on the back of the picture: "'Death to Judah,’ says the flag. ‘Judah will live forever’, respond the lights.”

Asian here. May I know the significance of the candle stand? What is it called? Is there a meaning why there is 4 on left / right sides, and 1 in the middle?
