Gosh no!
Use of the symbol dates back to 6,000 BCE. It was used by many cultures around the world, including China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages it was well known in Europe.
The Nazis adopted it and use was ruined forever.....

The swastika was used in many cultures, including native Americans, around the world long before Hitler was born.
