Letter to the editor: Respect history and don’t use Nazi symbol
Share this post:
I have seen protests saying President Trump and Elon Musk are Nazis. The swastika, the symbol of the Nazis, is on the signs they hold and place in their front yards. This is emotional for me because I don’t think they have any idea of history.
My father-in-law endured 18 operations after being hit in Germany. He picked a Nazi armband off a dead soldier — not an ordinary soldier, a Nazi. Trained to brutally kill in any way possible. These Nazis tried to kill all the Jews. That’s called genocide. Many millions of people were brutally murdered.
To use this symbol is horrible. It lessens what happened in World War II. Please don’t use it. There are a few survivors out there, and it would cause much anxiety if they see it.
