A PRECURSER TO NAZISM by Jim Walker Originated Aug 7, 1996 Additions Nov 20, 2005 The Hidden Truth about Martin Luther and his profound hatred of the Jews!
No apologist can claim that Martin Luther bore his anti-Jewishness out of youthful naivete', uneducation, or out of unfounded Christianity. On the contrary, Luther in his youth expressed a great optimism about Jewish conversion to Christianity. But in his later years, Luther began to realize that the Jews would not convert to his wishes. His anti-Jewishness grew slowly over time. His logic came not from science or reason, but rather from Scripture and his Faith. His "On the Jews and Their Lies" shows remarkable study into the Bible and fanatical biblical reasoning. Luther, at age 60 wrote this dangerous "little" book at the prime of his maturity, and in full knowledge in support of his beliefs and Christianity. Few people today realize that Luther wrote 'On the Jews and Their Lies.' (He also wrote such works like "Against the Sabbatarians.") Freethinkers should become aware of the anti-Semitic influence that Luther has brought on the world. His vehement attack on Jews and his powerful influence on the German faithful has brought a new hypothesis to mind: that the Jewish holocaust, and indeed, the eliminationist form of anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany may not have occurred without the influence from Luther's book: A must read! "On the Jews and Their Lies." Hitler refers to Martin Luther as one of the great reformers of history, and as such, one of the “great warriors of this World.”109 It cannot be mere coincidence that Hitler’s anti-Jewish sentiment of the 1930s and 1940s mirrors that of Luther’s anti-Semitism of the 1500s. In fact, the Nazis themselves acknowledged Martin Luther as their spiritual leader. When on trial in Nuremberg, Germany after
World War II, one of Hitler’s top officials declared, Dr. Martin Luther would very probably sit in my place in the defendants’ dock today, if this book had been taken into consideration by the prosecution. Martin Luther writes that the Jews are a serpent’s brood and one should burn down their synagogues and destroy them.110 Although Martin Luther has never been put on trial, the Nazis seemed to think that he was just as guilty as they (or, that they were just as innocent as he was). Some people in Hitler’s time went so far as to believe that Hitler was the reincarnation of Luther; the Minister of Education in Nazi Germany wrote: Since Martin Luther closed his eyes, no such son of our people has appeared again. It has been decided that we shall be the first to witness his reappearance… I think the time is past when one may not say the names of Hitler and Luther in the same breath. They belong together – they are of the same old stamp.111 However people like to believe it, there is no denying the fact that Martin Luther and Adolf Hitler are inseparably linked with their extreme anti-Semitism and nationalism. It is because of this link that “the line from Luther to Hitler runs straight; and that one of the main causes which turned Germany into a country of barbarians, was Martin Luther and his German Reformation. ...
