Ruth,
'..... you will find on the bottom left of the screen a photo of a young innocent happy Indian lad wearing a red shirt with a white circle on the front containing a black swastika - just like the Nazi flag.
Go to the page and you will find the comment "he can't wear that"

My response to this comment was - why not? - it's his really and he should be allowed to wear it if he wants to promote its true meaning.'

FYI:    Long before Hitler used the 'broken cross' swastika, it was a
native American symbol. However, it faced the other way, than the Nazi one. It had absolutely nothing to do with the one used by the Germans, and had a completely different meaning.
