pjnasser says:

The cathedrals and the auto-da-fe, universalism and slavery, the marvels of Baroque art and the Inquisition, Scientific reason and the witch trials, progress and total war, democracy and bureaucracy, the dream of brotherhood and the gulags, Beethoven and Auschwitz, Beethoven in Auschwitz. That's Europe: its head in the stars; its feet in blood.
