Reader-submitted: “This is a huge picture in the entrance of the special care unit in (moderated) for babies.
Surprised they didn’t notice that the design of the “thank you” picture is a replica of a swastika.
Which makes me wonder who ever made it, out of millions of designs they could have used in their “thank you” art, they used a design which is a swastika.”

sorry but its not its 2 z not 2 a
Not a swastika. It’s backwards and it’s straight
A pinwheel….definitely not a swastika!
Looks like a swastika to me, and I have 20-20 vision.
Hey Ari you need new glasses and a history lesson.
It’s a right-handed swastika, which is a good luck symbol in India. The German one faces the other way, and is also usually at a 45 degree angle.
Even so, being that most people can’t tell the difference, it was insensitive to have it ganging there.
Definitely a swastika even if it’s backwards they should be ashamed of themselves and remove it asap
The pattern is a classic quilting pattern called log cabin. Usually the contrasting dark and light strips are continued to the center of each square, but in this case the quilter used the centers for decorative squares in a baby theme.
Stop these false accusations. It’s a religious symbol in other countries like India. Google Indian swastika
This is a traditional quilt pattern (called Log Cabin) made with a 90 degree twist in each panel.
If it was intended to be a Nazi swastika it would have facing the other way (right facing, or clockwise).
Which hospital?
My mother made this quilt as a thank you for my nephew who was born at 25 weeks and is b”h doing well. Its a pinwheel design, not a swastika. make sure my mother does not see this posting otherwise she would be very sad. She is very sensitive to the holocaust and would never chas v’shalom make something that would be offensive.
There are people who see swastikas and crosses in everything. We had a teacher who told a girl her blouse had crosses on it because the design on her blouse looked like a cross to the teacher. If it wouldn’t have been pointed out, I wouldn’t think twice about it. It’s a beautiful quilt.
Indians (of India) us the swastika as a sign of theirs for whatever totally unrelated to Nazis Jews or socialism (as heard from Richie Roberts by his speech at the tent event a few years ago)…. could of been an Indian baby!
Not. Sometimes people look to hard into things.
