I read a book about the Holocaust called Sunflowers. Quote from Amazon: "Author Simon Weisenthal recalls his demoralizing life in a concentration camp and his envy of the dead Germans who have sunflowers marking their graves."
This literary connection between the Star of David and the sunflowers makes a lot of sense. Note also the prominence of the night theme in this song and therefore a possible link to that other great account of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel's Night.

@Annster Another connection between sunflowers and the Holocaust are the oversized paintings by contemporary German artist Anselm Kiefer, in which he juxtaposes World War II imagery with actual dried sunflowers glued to the canvas.One such painting is "Aschenblume," in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
