A museum in Greeley, Colorado is now the owner of a more than century-old, 66-inch-by-80-inch quilt that’s covered in 27 of the dark symbols. The Greeley Museum was bequeathed the quilt by a family in the Briggsdale, Colorado area, who found the quilt folded in a hope chest. Museum officials theorize the woman who stitched the quilt put it away sometime in the 1930s with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. According to “The Denver Post,” museum officials say the quilt will be displayed at some point, but not before there is discussion and dialogue about the origins of the symbol.
