Swastika Spotted At the Bottom Of A Brazilian Pool

  • 9 years ago
A swastika was recently spotted at the bottom of a pool located on the grounds of a mansion in southern Brazil.

The swastika has a long history of use among myriad cultures, but it’s most known as a symbol of the Nazi party, and, by extension, anti-Semitism.

One was recently spotted at the bottom of a pool located on the grounds of a mansion in southern Brazil.

Police came upon it by accident while they had helicopters in the air investigating a kidnapping.

The owner of the home was contacted and said that the symbol has been there for 13 years.

That person also clarified that the swastika was not intended to promote Nazism.

As it’s on private property, no charges will be filed.

The mansion is in an area well known as an immigration hub for people hailing from Germany, including individuals who fled to evade charges for their involvement with the Nazis.

There are no apparent connections, however, between the party and the pool’s owner.

It’s also not the first swastika-related incident to have arisen in recent days.

Walgreens came under fire for selling Hanukkah wrapping paper said to have swastikas on it.

The giftwrap, which was licensed by Hallmark, was pulled from shelves shortly after the complaint surfaced.
