Police find Swastika in bottom of pool in Brazil

[Morphine Prince 109,655]

 

Local authorities say no charges would be filed, since the swastika is on private land and they say that the homeowner, who was not identified, is not promoting Nazism.

Police say the pool has had the swastika for 13 years.
The Santa Catarina region has a history of European immigration -- including Germans and Austrians -- and hosts a popular Oktoberfest in the city of Blumenau every year that "preserves the customs of their ancestors from Germany to form colonies in the South."
After World War Two, Nazi hunters tracked down Franz Stangl in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He was the commandant of the Sobibor and Treblinka extermination camps in Poland. He was arrested by Brazilian Police in in 1967 and died in a German prison in 1971.

originally the swastika was and still is a hindu symbol for a sun deity/god

however there is a difference, the hindu version has the opposite direction from the Nazi swastika

No it is not. That is the Nazi Swastika, a political symbol to a fascist party. This is a religious symbol:

This.

 

But if I saw this in my pool, I'd most definitely get it removed without question or hesitation.

Not only that. The nazi swatstika resembles antisemetism and hatred.
