Ok, maybe the sentiments around those issues are still so strong that
it is hard for me understand. Antisemitism has not been a problem
here, we had other problems instead.
It means the symbol will be tainted for some time to come, probably as
long as I live, and I must adjust myself to that. :(
It is said that globalization removes cultural differences.
Fortunately not completely, in India they paint swastikas on clothes
and cars as a sign of blessing, road safety and good luck, and they
don't know of the negative meanings of that symbol.
