Swastika

David Evans’s documentary, “What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy,” explores this phenomenon with real examples: Niklas Frank and Horst von Wächter, the sons of two powerful Nazi officials, each father responsible for insanely high Jewish body counts.

The swastika is a symbol used by of one of the most hated men on Earth, a symbol that represents the slaughter of millions of people and one of the most destructive wars on Earth. But Adolf Hitler was not the first to use this symbol. In fact, it was used as a powerful symbol thousands of years before him, across many cultures and continents.

Two black swastikas spray-painted near the entrance of a Jewish fraternity house on Emory University’s campus early Sunday sent a wave of shock and anger through the Atlanta campus. The swastikas, which have since been covered up, were painted at about 5 a.m.
