In all fairness to the Jewish people who survived the camps, if all you saw was the Nazi symbol painted everywhere while heathens did horrible things to you and your family... you wouldn't want to ever see that symbol again
Although it is just a symbol, and a symbol can have many meanings, to a lot of people that symbol represents just how ugly and evil human beings can be. It is just like the confederate flag... although many people say it is a symbol of their heritage, it is also a symbol of division.
If you are a good person, why would you want to wear or display something that many people associate with evil? Likewise, if you are an American, why would you wear or display something that represented division among the states? I am all for the freedom of speech and press, but that doesn't mean I always have to agree or understand what people do
