Question
Had the youth of Europe grown up with books composed of Talmudic & Proverbial insights (wisdom for everyday - living for Goyim) from the Rabbis, would there have been such animosity toward the Jewish people in that ere?
Would an "Every Man’s Talmud" for Goyim influence the way we heathens behave toward Jews and possibly prevent a future Holocaust?
Answer
European anti-semitism, which was fueled by centuries of religious tradition and bigotry, would not have been lessened by the measures suggested. On the other hand, literature which would achieve understanding of Jewish values is a good thing. But I wouldn't count on it being a serious factor in preventing the resurgence of anti-semitism.
