Swastika was also a popular symbol in Slavonic mythology. In southern Poland it was popular at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries; therefore, churches with this symbol can be found there. It was only after the aggression of Germany to Poland in 1939 that this symbol became a socially prohibited.

Amazing

Just shows you how customs change over time, and mass murder.

Wow i did not know this , nice post

hey u know what: each hook of the swastica represent 90° so it´s a total of 360° - the way my ancestors draw a circle around it.

btw "falling into the hands of hitler"... im quite sure even he knew what it stands for

In many areas it still found on Buddhist temples.

I think people are going to forget the Nazis but it will take a long time for Buddhism to be forgotten.
