Summary

Description
English: Karl Tõnisson—Karlis Tennison—Brother Vahindra pildiga postkaart. The original file contains a swastika that can be misunderstood. It is an old Hindu-Buddhist symbol. In India and Nepal, it is a very usual sight to see. Only in Europe does it have a negative meaning when Nazis used it.

"During the first decade of the 20th century, for some reason, Tennisons traveled to Riga, which became his second hometown. He lived at a local Jewish merchant's place. One of Tennisons's leaflets mentions that this was a summer cottage belonging to someone called Glazovski, which is a quite typical Jewish surname."
