Featured Whiting Davis handbag with unpopular German symbol.

<snort>

I suspect the Jewish side of my family might be a tad askance, too.

 

As a 1st Nations art dealer, I have no problem with that old symbol....

As a Jewish person , raised to revile that symbol...I can neither collect them or sell them...

A Dichotomy , for sure !!!

( I had a nice tank top....from the Munich Olympic games ....I wore it in the house once....Mom had a COW !!!!.........I never wore it again..)

 

I've the same problem, komo, as well as having Hindu friends who use the ancient reverse symbol.

 

Symbols are powerful, and unfortunately abuse of symbols even more powerful.

 

I just remembered, I have a Navajo sun wheel pendant. I don't wear it anymore, because a Dutch extreme right nationalist party uses the same symbol.

 

,,,,,,,,that sux

 

JMHO.
the simple Nazi connotation isn't true for Germany and Austria either. it was used long before by rightwing German nationalists and esoteric circles. two of the best known were Guido von List, a complete weirdo, and Lanz von Liebenfels.
