The honeymoon

why does the artist place a swastika in the background of the panels that depict the plight of Jews in Hitler's Germany (p. 33) Why, on page 125, is the road that Vladek and Anja travel on their way back to sosnowiec also shaped like a swastika? What other symbolic devices does the author use in this book?

The Swastika is an ever-present symbol of hatred and genocide to Jews. This symbol haunts much of the novel. You need to submit each of your other questions one at a time.
