I did often wonder how the most civilized nation on Earth, Brahms, Bach, and Beethoven, could fall to the depth of NAZISM.
That reminds me of a line from the “Holocaust” miniseries that I’ve never been able to forget:
(The mother-Weiss family:) But how could you want to leave this country? Germany is the country of Beethoven and Bach and Brahms!
(The father-Weiss family:) Yes, but unfortunately none of them are in office at the moment.
Non-spoiler note: They would have been better off had they emigrated.
