Hotel Swastika
The Hotel Swastika in Raton, New Mexico opened for business in June 1929. The name “Swastika” was selected because it was common symbol used in the area by some of local Native American Indian tribes. It wasn’t until the rise of Hitler that the symbol was viewed negatively. In 1939, the hotel changed its name.
