In "Concerning the Jews and Their Lies", 1543,  Luther says: "venomous
beasts, vipers, disgusting scum, canders, devils incarnate. Their private
houses must be destroyed and devastated, they could be lodged in stables.
Let the magistrates burn their synagogues and let whatever escapes be
covered with sand and mud. Let them force to work, and if this avails
nothing, we will be compelled to expel them like dogs in order not to expose
ourselves to incurring divine wrath and eternal damnation from the Jews and
their lies."   This one one of the founding keystones of the Holocaust in a
Lutheran nation.  Even the Lutheran church apologizes for it.  What do you
wish done? Change history?  Would that we could.
