Swastika Gallery:"I'm not a Nazi"

This brass Swastika is a Coca-Cola promotional watch fob from the 1920's.
这个"I'm not a Nazi"画廊，收集许多徽标，其课题用来解释纳粹党徽与其它的标志间的理解与区分，当然里面有我们所熟悉的的佛教的佛教的"万"字：
卍纳粹的标志：卐佛教的万字相是正放正旋正线（横竖线）纳粹标识是斜（邪）放反旋转斜（邪）线。 [卍]之形也。是印度相传之吉祥标相梵文(Sanskrit svástika स्वास्तिक 好运的象征)(Wiki).
网站里面在徽标的话题以外，还有很多相关的事件，比如：在新墨西哥州Raton的一家Hotel Swastika. 它建于1929年. 在二战期间,酒店为不使其标志不予纳粹党徽造成浑浊而更名为Yucca Hotel. 作为纳粹份子疯狂复制，使人们更为熟知他们当年思想的危险。
目前欧洲新纳粹活动也是异常频繁，他们打着种族的旗号来持续这危险的思想，在俄罗斯的光头党就是其中的甚者，每年都有袭击外国人的事件发生，在今年初一座以色列人的公墓群，被他们一夜之间把几百个墓碑都涂上纳粹标志。
From the website:
Swastikas can be found all over the world once you start looking for them. I find them fascinating for some reason. Most people in this part of the world (United States) think of Nazis when they see swastikas and the subject ends there. People forget the swastika was a good luck symbol in the years just before Hitler rose to power.
The Swastikas in this gallery are related to Buddhists, Hindus, Native Americans, Boy Scouts, street gangs, Nazis, homosexuals, and more... This is the only gallery I know of that puts ideology aside and displays the full range of Swastikas in one place.
