It's a middle European thing, especially in Spain and Germany. Storks did build their (massive) nests atop of Chimneys. It was the common belief that they were also dunking babies down the chute because most babies were born in Spring when the Nest building started.
Swastika?
You do have her name and the year. Why don't you use google?
The Nazis adopted it 1920.
So no, not a "Hakenkreuz"-Swastika. She used it as a good luck charm. As it was supposed to be before Hitler.
Besides, the hands point left, so its a Sauwastika.
The thought that all these people are long gone and maybe these photos are the last evidence they even existed, makes me sad.
