Toporzeł
The Toporzeł is a Polish emblem, created by Stanisław Szukalski in 1935 as coat of arms of reborn "Second Poland".[1][2] It was created by combination of axe and eagle. The head has the form of a hook, which symbolizes breaking a tradition.
The emblem with an added cross, called "Topokrzyż", was seen in "Krak" magazine, published by Szukalski. It contains the inscription "GOJ - Gospodarczą Organizujmy Jedność" (sounding like "Goy" and means "Organize Economic Unity"), and was intended to mark non-Jewish shops.[3]
Now it is used by neopaganic, nationalistic organizations like Association for Tradition and Culture "Niklot".
