OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY -- Vandals attacked a local high school Monday night, leaving swastikas carved into school-owned vehicles, according to a police report. The vandals also broke several windows and a door. Apparently, someone thinks I am a nazi. In many ways, BOY IN THE BERGHOF is like the futuristic science-fiction novel SWASTIKA NIGHT (1937) by Katharine Burdekin. This past Saturday night, a large, black swastika was painted on The Rock on the corner of Hill Street and Washtenaw Avenue, along with a series of offensive images and words targeted toward other minority groups. The left-hand swastika (called a sauvastika) usually represents the terrifying goddess Kali, night and magic. Not the manji, mind you, which is the same symbol but used by many cultures to represent many ideas throughout history, and none of them bad, but the actual swastika, circle and all. He needs reminding that the swastika (a noun) has mutated into an adjective denoting evil. Murray Constantine's Swastika Night, published in 1937, envisions a horrific Nazi-controlled world, 500 years in the future. The town is popular to tourists for gaming and camping adventurers. She wasn't the only one to be "Orwellised." Swastika Night by Katherine Burdekin was published in 1937. However, this form of the swastika is not “evil” and it is the form most commonly used in Buddhism. The townspeople would sneak out and tear them down in the middle of the night and repost signs naming the town Swastika.
