WWII in Germany...

[Wooderson]

Hitler was hell bent on making his own master race of perfect people (in his mind).

He had a hatred towards Jews because they were often rich and wealthy. Hitler fought in WW1 and was pissed when he seen how most people were piss poor and the Jews were mostly comfortable.

So basically, jealousy.

Me and my graphics teacher had a short discussion about the swastika. He thinks that its the best example of how a symbol can unite a group of people. He likes the design of it (I mean come on, it is a powerful design) but is also amazed by how a symbol can cause so much anger in peoples lives.

It's really close to a traditional hindu symbol too (I think hindu).
