| Mystery: The lapel pins that each members of the photo are wearing, are pins that have the swastika emblem with some writing around the pins. The Illinois Genealogy Society thinks they might have been used by the Klu Klux Klan. The swastika emblem was used for a Christian symbol before the time of Hitler's use of the symbol. Does someone know what these pins represented? |
