Martin Luther: His plan to kill the Jews

Description:For many people, Martin Luther is a great hero - the founder of the Protestant Reformation, and a man who made it possible for modern Christianity to exist as it does. Despite his popularity, few people take any time to actually read what Luther wrote - of all historic figures, Luther was known then and now for the impact of his writing, and so when we want to know Luther, we should read what he himself wrote. There are several biographies of Martin Luther, which emphasize different aspects of the man - generally painting him as a misunderstood holy man who wanted to fix the problems he could see with the Catholic Church as it was. The biases of the authors cause the view of Luther to portrayed as something between a Saint to a monster. I lean towards the classification of 'monster', myself. If you want to know a man, read what he has written. In his writings, his true opinions are shown clearly, in his own words. In this book I have a few selected writings - in their entirety - so you can get an idea of who Martin Luther was - in his own words. Form your opinion of the man based on what he himself wrote. Martin Luther wrote several items against the Jews - some of which are listed in this volume: On the Jews and their Lies 1543 The Jews are a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth." They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine." The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut ...." Luther argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness, afforded no legal protection, and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time. He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them" Of the Unknowable Name and the Generations of Christ 1543 "What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews... Since they live among us, we dare not tolerate their conduct." New preface concerning the prophet Ezekiel 1545 "Their works prove that too; for they rend and torture the Scriptures in their interpretation of them, like filthy swine wallowing and rolling in a pleasure garden, so that it would be desirable if they were to stay un-entangled with the Scripture, though many of our own people cling so tight to the rabbis and have such confidence in them, that they Judaize more than the ancient Jews themselves." Luther also wrote condemning the Catholics, Muslims, and other Protestants (especially Anabaptists, some of which he had executed). In this book we will focus on Luther's writings against the Jews, as they were favorite topics for Luther. Please do not be shocked by Luther's opinions - these are direct translations of his original works, much of which are available in libraries. There is no additional wording added, except at the beginning of each section where I give a little context. I do not claim authorship of any of the writings included here, other than my meager comments in this section and leading into the text of each of Luther's writings. I passionately disagree with everything Luther has written, so please do not think I agree with any of this foul antisemitism - but I believe it is important that people of good conscience know of Martin Luther's work, and understand just what sort of monster he was. Ignoring his error because it is awful and monstrous does no one any good. Ignoring the horrors of the Holocaust is bad, because we forget how hateful people can be. Luther is one man who should be remembered for his profound errors.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
