Interestingly, Hitler was not the only one to appropriate folks traditions and claim them as his own. The Ku Klux Klan’s tradition of cross-burning, for example, was an old Celtic custom. But most modern-day Celts have lost that tradition. But I am confident the swastika will live on – as a symbol of good, however.
