Rio’s Carnival parade featured costumes with swastikas – A local Jewish leader was fine with it | Timesofisrael
A leading Brazilian Jewish official gave a thumbs up to a local Carnival performance that featured swastikas and mirrored a spectacle that raised eyebrows in the 1990s.
Some 100 dancers of the Vai-Vai samba school wore costumes featuring swastikas on their back at Rio’s Carnival, Brazil’s most popular festival and one of the world’s largest multi-day celebrations. Following a lunar calendar, this year it is being held from Feb. 21 to 26, 40 days before Easter Sunday.
