Traditional Folk Romanian Costume, from Northern Oltenia, Valcea county, XIX-th century.
Svastica is an ancient pattern, found all over Eastern Europe, Balkan area, and Asia. However, Svastica was not found on ancient artefacts from Germany, and Hitler copied a symbol which didn't not belong to the Germans, and which was not related at all with racist ideas.
Costume Populare Traditionale Romanesti din Oltenia Valcea Horezu. Zvastica este un motiv traditional ce era folosit pe costumele romanesti din cele mai vechi timpuri. Acest simbol al zvasticii apare inca din antichitate in Romania, tarile Est Europene, zona Balcanica si Asia. In Germania insa acest simbol nu a fost prezent in antichitate, iar Hitler a copiat acest model de la civilizatiile Asiei si i-a dat conotatii rasiste.
