They are actually NOT swastikas. What are now known as swastikas are seen the world over as symbols of GOOD LUCK. I saw them worked into the architecture in Washington DC, and those buildings were built long before Hitler was even born.
If you look at Navajo blankets you can see swastikas. But the direction of the Nazi use is opposite of one used by everyone else.
It is just sad that this symbol has been changed into one of hate and prejudice. But it is just as sad that people can't tell the difference and don't know the history.
Here is some information to read.

ETA: They mention the world good luck connection IN the article, one has to wonder which direction those "swastikas" are facing. This man has won many awards for his good works, and I am sure he means well, but the cultural significance of a
similar symbol should not be ignored. Why should people who have their own cultural ties be punished for some psycho, murdering dictator changing it?
