Photo EssayWhen Haters Draw Their Swastikas Wrong
Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential race has seen a spike in hate crimes and the appearance of swastikas — on synagogues, houses and storefronts — to a degree they haven’t been seen before.
There’s not much that’s funny about this. Anti-semitic vandalism has to be taken seriously, and we still live in a time when some remember seeing the swastika on the uniforms of Nazi soldiers.
But we’ve got a long tradition of making fun of the haters, whether it’s Charlie Chaplin mocking Nazis in “The Great Dictator” or Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder putting on “Springtime for Hitler” in “The Producers.”
So indulge us in some gallows humor, and scroll through this slideshow of “bad swastikas.” Here the bigots got it doubly wrong, with bad spelling and bad swastikas.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
