| General Description : | 50th anniversary of Polish Immigrants Society in Germany. After Adolf Hitler had seized power in Germany, Nazi emblems were soon nationalized. The swastika became national emblem of the Third Reich and Poles from the Union of Poles in Germany could not use their national symbols anymore, because they were prohibited. The Rodło was invented as a new symbol that Poles in Germany could rally around. The name "rodło" is a portmanteau of "ród" ("folk") and "godło" ("emblem"). The Rodło graphics was conceived in 1930's by graphic designer Janina Kłopocka,who sketched the "emblem of the Vistula River, cradle of the Polish people, and royal Kraków, cradle of Polish culture". The white emblem was placed on a red background – the Polish national colors. It was adopted in August 1932 by the leadership of the Union of Poles in Germany. (Bibl: Wikipedia) |
