Koestler found himself behind the barbed wire with Croat peasant partisans, Spanish syndicalists, Czech liberals, Italian socialists, Hungarian and Polish Communists, German undergrounders, Russians of various political shades whose only common denominator was that they hated Stalin and denounced one another to the French Surete Nationale. All these were "the scum of the earth." Nearly all "bore the physical or mental marks of torture and persecution in the countries from which they had escaped, and for a more enlightened [French] administration these marks should have been regarded as the stamp of their bona fides and loyalty."

It also explained in part the chemistry of that strange political amalgam: Junker aristocrats with Nazi riffraff...
Sigmund Romberg, Hungarian-born pianist and greatest living composer of light opera, is of an age which the swift and relentless stride of time has left alive only in memories. His name was greatest when whispered by ladies in ruffled hoop-skirts to frock-coated gentlemen seated next to them in their box-seats. Like those of his fellow-spirit, Victor Herbert, his opera stories are now watery wine to a world once intoxicated by the theme of gay, romantic love bursting Victorian bonds.
