Well actually the holocaust was more linked to the SS so the Jews can use that as a symbol of remembrance/reminder. Considering the number of holocaust museums and memorials around the world it's unlikely anyone will soon forget.
So many peoples used variations of the swastika as important symbols in their culture it wouldn't be fair to to say they suddenly have to abandon it because it offends a few. certainly people are smart enough to take it in context.
Oh...and welcome to the Cellar, Javelin.
