Nazi symbolism

Okay, so you know how some people behave badly and do mean things to others? Well, a long time ago, some people in a country called Germany did really bad things to a group of people called Jewish people. They hurt them and even killed them just because they were Jewish.

Some of these bad people were called Nazis, and they also had a special symbol that they used to show that they were part of the group. The symbol was a tilted swastika, which kind of looks like a plus sign with arms that bend.

Nowadays, this symbol is really important to remember because it reminds us of all the bad things that the Nazis did to people. It's not okay to use this symbol or to support the people who did those bad things. It’s a symbol of hate and discrimination that is not accepted in any way.
