Re: ancient textiles and yarn crafts used the swastika as a tool for the art

Mr / Mrs ,,,,, A hakenkreutz is a cross with hooks in German , nothing new about that

It has become the Symbol of the Greatest pre medidated Murder of more than a 1/3 of my people.. + Many more Murders , thus it has been become a foul symbol , not to be accepted into decent Human society for many many generations. The Hooked cross was always understood as a sumbol for movement, but as i said it isn`t Proper any more... I sure hope that no person in will start using it , too many people still cringe when they see it ...

>Many modern myths about swastikas are based on the false belief that >The Anthropologist Heinrich Schliemann helped to popularize the

He was an Archeologist not an anthropoligist. Symbols migrated from culture to culture, there is nothing new about that.

Japan, India and the United States. Navajo blankets were woven with >swastikas as artful designs.

Navajo blankets were also woven with `symbols` =ptterns drawn by the merchants of the trade posts, patterns that will make the blankets /rugs more attractive to white people`s tastes.... I could go on but really, writing a longish seemingly academic letter doesn`t give credit to your meanings ,,, Don`t try to purify this foul symbol. Nazie people fouled it. please let go. mirjam

It is news to most people and it was probably news to you. Try asking around or do a poll and discover how few people know the term Hakenkreuz. Next, discover how many people incorrectly believe that the National Socialist German Party called their symbol a "swastika." So far you have been reinforcing the myth yourself with your stereotypical constant use of the term that the NSDAP did not use.

Again you repeat myths even after you have conceded the Dr. Curry is correct that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics joined as allies with the National Socialist German Workers' Party to invade Poland in

1939 as part of a pact to divide up Europe. That was part of the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part) the worst slaughter in human history: 65 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 35 million dead under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million dead under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The original post is not tryin to "purify" a symbol. It makes straightforward comments about the symbol's history and also about its tragic alteration by monstrous socialists. You have not disputed a word of it. Why don't you stop repeating and reinforcing myths?

And why don't you piss off and stop antagonizing? Mirjam is our friend and part of our 'family', you are not!

Do you even do any yarnwork? If so, please join in with THAT type of conversation... if you don't, go find somewhere else to throw your unwanted comments around!

Don't bother replying to my message as I won't even see it... I am putting you on my *ignore* list.
