The Swastika: Symbol Beyond Redemption?

The Swastika: Symbol Beyond Redemption? Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

A senior art director at the New York Times, Heller (design, School of Visual Arts) explores the meanings and mysteries of what he calls the most powerful symbol ever created. He traces it from its beginnings in antiquity, its pre-Nazi religious and commercial uses, the Nazi appropriation, and its contemporary application as both a racist icon and an apolitical logo. He concludes that as long as it retains its current association it will not be redeemed.
