Dear Count,
I wanted to read your book on Antisemitism before writing to you.
I must thank you for this important work, which shows so clearly the historical origins, portrays the development and nature of Antisemitism more impressively than in any other book that I have come across. The decency of its intellectual and moral tone is admirable. What I miss is an exposition of the economic and political reasons for Antisemitism. Those reasons, those very important reasons – really the only reasons – are touched on occasionally but never thoroughly dealt with.
I’m only sorry you left out the chapter on the Talmud. For some months I had the chance of reading our nationalist newspapers and I noticed how unscrupulously excerpts of the Talmud were used as weapons.
I still have a year to go, the last year. I will not break down my resolution, any more than did the first four years. I have a lucky gift. I can devote myself passionately to things, and at the same time I can dispassionately consider them as they are in themselves, and conditioned by their nature.
