Just yesterday I ran into a girl at work whose name is Swastika. She is of Indian descent. My other co-worker was freaking out over her name - she had no idea about the pre-Nazi history of the swastika as a symbol of good luck. I must say that even though I am aware of that history it was startling to see someone named that. Dumb Nazis totally ruined a perfectly nice symbol! :P

If I didn't know the timing the thing came out, I could have sworn it came from the English version of Signal. Which was a Nazi propaganda magazine put out in several occupied countries. They had a special English version made for the Channel islands.

It's actually a solar symbol (the cross, with rays extending in all directions), with 'feet' added to show the sun in motion through the sky and seasons, and by extension a symbol of time and eternity. Appropriate for a method of preservation, no?
