Symbolism in Maus

What's So Special About Art Spiegelman's MAUS and "Crossroads"?

The video explains one of the symbolism in the book Maus -- Swastika and crossroad. The crossroad which Art's parents step on is the sign used by Hitler, which suggests that they cannot escape the nazie's plan no matter which road they pick.

(125) Maus I

It's interesting because the Swastika is recognized as a derivative from the Hindu symbol. The symbol is used as a charm to bring good fortune. The Nazis adopted the sign for its indication of racial purity and superiority.
