“the method is still the same: appeal to weakness, bolster myth, and massage fantasy.”

“While photographs certainly attest to Nazi crimes, the magnitude of Nazi genocide demands that every trace of the regime be forever remembered. The various symbols devised by the Nazi image-makers for the most sophisticated visual identity of any nation are a vivid reminder of the systematic torture and murder engaged in by this totalitarian state. These pictures, signs, and emblems are not merely clip art for contemporary designers to toy with as they please, but evidence of crimes against humanity.”
― Steven Heller, Design Culture: An Anthology of Writing from the AIGA Journal of Graphic Design
