The Swastika by Elizabeth E. Goldsmith is a comprehensive account of the history and symbolism of the swastika. The book begins by tracing the origins of the swastika, which was originally a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many cultures around the world, including ancient India, China, and Greece. However, the swastika's association with the Nazi party and its use as a symbol of hate and oppression during World War II has forever tainted its meaning.Goldsmith explores the various ways in which the swastika has been used throughout history, including its adoption by various fascist and nationalist movements in the 20th century. She also examines the efforts of individuals and organizations to reclaim the swastika as a symbol of peace and spirituality in the years since World War II.The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as a detailed bibliography and index. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of symbols and their cultural significance.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Life Symbols as Related to Sex Symbolism, by Elizabeth E.
