Let us not forget the difference between the hakenkreuz and the swastika please.

Swastika is welcome, the nazi version of it isn't.

The better and most appropriate term is Hakenkreuz, that the Nazis themselves used.

what difference ? The clockwise version (เฟ•) is called swastika in Hinduism, and is the exact same symbol as what the Nazis used. It used to be (until the 1930s) used in art quite a lot all over Europe. You can still find it high up on the facade of old houses. And Yes, some people are offended by it, but when you explain both the building and the symbol predate Nazism, they usually calm down.
