swastika

The swastika is a symbol that was used in the 20th century by of one of the most hated men ever to have lived, a symbol that now represents the slaughter of millions of people and one of the most destructive wars on Earth. But Adolf Hitler was not the first to use this symbol. In fact, swastika origins are far more complex. Before Hitler, it was used as a positive and powerful symbol thousands of years before he ever existed, across many cultures and continents.
