The Anti-Semitic Side of Martin Luther
You Need to Know

Six million Jews were brutally massacred
during World War II during the Holocaust.

At the end of the war in 1946,
war criminals were held on trial in Nuremberg, Germany.
During these trials, German official Julius Streicher claims following
the instructions of Martin Luther is his only fault.

What exactly did Martin Luther write about the Jews?

How did this renowned hero of the Reformation
develop his anti-Semitic animosity and
how did he influence the infamous Adolf Hitler?

Get rid of all the Jews!
The fact that we never knew about Martin Luther and his anti-Semitism

  1. To burn down Jewish synagogues and schools and warn people against them
  2. To refuse to let Jews own houses among Christians
  3. For Jewish religious writings to be taken away
  4. For rabbis to be forbidden to preach
  5. To offer no protection to Jews on highways
  6. For usury to be prohibited and for all silver and gold to be removed, put aside for safekeeping
  7. To give young, strong Jews flail, axe, spade, and spindle, and let them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow
