But Wagner's music was Hitler's music!

And while Hitler was embracing the Aryan racism of Wagner, he was banning the beautiful music of Mendelssohn, who was Jewish by race, but not by faith.

Makes you realize music has power, doesn't it?

As a wise poster once said here on FR (I wish I knew who it was): "Evil is the ultimate stupidity"--one of my favorite quotes.

Hitler was stupid--and evil--in many ways.

Once (more than once, unfortunately) I visited the home of a very rich psychopath. Everything spoke of power. It was frightening and horrible. Everything was ugly--and very expensive. The plants were artificial. The floors and walls were concrete. There was nothing of human loveliness or the loveliness of life.
