Then I remembered that in the attic we have suitcases filled with books from my grandfather who was a talmid chochom and Professor of Literature in Germany. I asked my son's kallah who speaks a number of languages to examine the books in the suitcases. She did and found a number of books that teach a person how to engage in idolatrous practices!
