<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1587732, member: 38849&quot;]I found this little article on the website of the American Holocaust Museum:</p><p><br /></p><p>The swastika has an extensive history. It was used at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word <i>swastika</i> comes from the Sanskrit <i>svastika</i>,&nbsp; which means “good fortune” or “well-being.&quot; The motif (a hooked cross)&nbsp; appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps&nbsp; representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day it is a&nbsp; sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a&nbsp; common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also&nbsp; have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from&nbsp; pre-Christian European cultures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
