Of course, swastika was not always the symbol of hatred, and to many culture and religion, it still is not.

The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. The swastika literally means "to be good".

Swastika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How the symbol for being good was used unite nations in the most organized and heinous war crime of our history is quite frankly beyond me.
