For those who do not know, long before the Nazi took up the symbol of the swastika, it was used as a symbol of good luck.

Alexandra used this symbol and I think somewhere on one of our threads  there is a discussion about her use of this symbol.

Found it:

--- Quote ---Since Aleksandra studied philosophy and ancient religions she knew about this symbol and used it as a reminder of God's presence as well as for protection. This symbol is very ancient and pardon me for saying but it is rather inappropriate to call it primitive.

It is extremely widely used in Buddhist, Shinto and Hindu religion temples, ceremonies and rituals and highly revered. This symbol is also commonly seen and used in Hindu artwork, which represents the principle of divine energy in the form of the Goddess Lakshmi, the female Principle of God or energy Shakti.

The proper way of drawing it is with its vertical wing turned towards east. This way it emits positive vibrations.

The negative energy in the form of Hitler used it tilted by some degrees to the right, which changes its vibration and emits negative vibrations. Since every object emits energy, using swastik in this manner on every banner in his famous marches and rallies spread a lot of negative energy around and affected the crowds of people accordingly. It was one of his subtle means of misuse of power. The rest is history, alas.

Not only that was found in the wall in the basement, but too: 'a rich man was killed on the same night by his slaves' that was found too, but what i heard were the signs, signs from a mark from a mirror. You can find that on www.romanov-memorial.com or somehthing like that. Greetings!  ;)

Swastika as nazi symbol was different to ancient swastika or wheel, constated in India, Mesopotamia, Egypt...  This last was disposed from left to wright, meaning the eternal mouvement, the seasons cycles and renovation of life, so a powerful and sacred symbol.
Nazi's one was inverted(from right to left). This sign inverted means the rupture of cycles, the destruction and of course the bad luck. any inverted swastica was seen before if not in black practises. It would be interesting to see which swastika Alix was devoted. Any dessign or paper exists belonging to her?

This misquote is another misquote by a Russian guard who partially remembered a german poem that ran alone the lines of "the King was upon that very night/set upon and killed by his slaves" (I will find the actual german text asap)
The german poem ( which I will look up today) was based on an incident from the Old Testament and that very loose connection has led some to imagine that the execution was somehow a "Jewish Conspiracy"  -utter rot of course - but to some people it appeared mystical....

Tsarfan:
The poem is Belsazar, by Heinrich Heine.  The lines are:

"Belsazar aber ward in selbiger Nacht
Von seinen Knechten umgebracht."

The word "Knechten" is akin to the English "knaves" and could be translated as retainers instead of slaves.  (The original connotation of "knave" was not negative, as it is today.)  In fact, the German word for slaves is "Sklaven".  A medieval knight's squire was called a "Knecht".

An interesting footnote . . . Heine was a very famous 19th-century poet who penned one of Germany's most iconic poems, Die Lorelei (The Loreley), taught to German school children for generations.  The Nazis tried to erase Heine's memory (he was Jewish), and all poetry books printed under their regime gave the author of this famous poem as "anonymous."
