<p>[QUOTE="zantetsuken, post: 745177, member: 21665"]Well put Traci. I have a few coins from the Third Reich for historic reasons and that alone. I detest what the Nazis did to the Jewish people and the rest of Europe, but I don't let that stop me from collecting coins that I find interesting. As a few members have said, the swastika is an ancient symbol used long before the Nazi party was even thought of. Sadly, it was Hitler who twisted and perverted the symbol, and it is now looked upon as a symbol that evokes terror. As for the Neo-Nazis, they are just a bunch of losers who have a desperate need to believe that their pathetic existances have more purpose than everyone elses. The same was true for most of Nazis back in 1930's and 40's. They were thugs and criminals, and they probably believed that wearing flashy uniforms made them more than what they actually were and that was common murderers. However, all countries have black marks in their history, and ours is certainly no exception (USA). I'm not proud to admit this, but I'm stating that we've had our dark points. All anyone can do is learn from history, and hope not repeat it.</p><p> </p><p>~Daniel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
