Originally posted by sven Well, the swastika isn't even a Nazi simbol. It's a simbol from the hindu religion it basically means something like "eternity". The iron eagle is the traditional german eagle. The SS simbol is an ancient rune that means victory. So what "nazi" symbols would that be?

I meant to refer to the swastika and any anti-Jewish propaganda. Sure, it is originally a holy symbol, but if many people don't know that now, imagine by then, when most people didn't even have a crappy TV or the internet to do a quick research.

But none of this matters, anyway. What matters is that the former nazi people that arrived to these colonies and buried these symbols were ashamed of them, but buried them instead of destroying them. That's what is really puzzling.

Yes, Brazil was a Fascist state (Estado Novo) in fear of their large northern neighbour. As I mentioned before, I don't agree to say that Brazil was a full-blown Facist state by then. There was no strong policy regarding eugenics, or actively declaring war against neighboring countries, or any organized physical education program related to facism. If anything, it had traces of facism, but facism was not fully developed.
