... as a history lover, I agree with that, but... I think that the good side of that history that we keep on mind is some kind of guide for us all to try to be better. No one will remember here how many "witches" were killed in Embra as well as in Salamanca (Spain), Munchen, or Salem,.... but we all will remember the good side of those history periods,... the side that makes us want to be better humans!

¡Salud!
