How was the symbolism of the Swastika destroyed?

The earliest known use of the swastika symbol—an equilateral cross with a right-angled arm at 90° angles—was discovered carved into a 15,000-year-old ivory belonging to an extinct mammoth.
The ancient carving is believed to have been used for fertility and health purposes, a pattern similar to that found naturally on a mammoth—an animal that has been considered a symbol of fertility.
From its earliest conception, the symbol is believed to have had a positive and life-encouraging connotation.
The modern name for the icon, derived from the Sanskrit svastika, means "auspicious for well-being".
It has been used by cultures around the world for a multitude of different purposes throughout history: as a symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism; as a stylized cross in Christianity; in ancient Asian culture as a model in art; in Greek currency; in medieval, renaissance and baroque architecture; and on Iron Age artefacts.
While the symbol has a long history of having a positive connotation, it was forever corrupted by its use in one cultural context: Nazi Germany.
In 1920 Adolf Hitler adopted the swastika as a German national symbol and as a central element in the party flag of the National Socialist Party, or Nazi Party.
Në vitin 1945, simboli ishte lidhur me Luftën e Dytë Botërore, brutalitetin ushtarak, fashizmin dhe gjenocidin —të nxitur nga tentativa për pushtimin totalitar të Evropës nga Gjermania naziste.
Ikona u zgjodh nga partia për të përfaqësuar qëllimin e saj për pastrimin racor në Evropë.
Hitleri dhe Partia e tij Naziste besonin se një linjë e prejardhjes së pastër gjermanike e kishte origjinën në racën ariane- një grupim i përdorur për të përshkruar popujt indo-evropianë, gjerman dhe nordikë - ishte superior dhe se racat e tjera, më pak superiore duhet të dëboheshin nga Evropa.
Artefaktet e lashta indiane që dikur zotëroheshin nga nomadët arianë u gjetën se shfaqnin shpesh svastikën dhe simboli u zgjodh nga konteksti i tij historik i paqartë në rajon për të ushtruar dominimin e të ashtuquajturës trashëgimi ariane.
Since World War II, the swastika has been stigmatized as a symbol of racial hatred and prejudice.
It is often used by white supremacist groups and modern iterations of the Nazi Party.
Along with other symbols used by the party, the use of the icon has been banned in Germany.
