Never said or implied that AS wasn't in the general population of Europe. That said, we here of FR are always told of the age of the Catholic church. Well that 'age' was full of the incidents detailed. What Jews allegedly said during the Thirty Years War is really irrelevant to those Jews that suffered under the hands of the Ccatholic church for the millenium + before hand.

Special 'marks', expulsions, loss of property, burning of synagogues, book burnings, death; all common results between the exercise of Catholic secular power and the Nazis.

Some articles in Julius Streicher’s Der Sturmer — the leading Nazi propaganda paper — were verbatim quotations from Luther.

For those not paying attention, Streicher, a CINO, was a Nazi propagandist. But according to some, just a stray. Pulling verbatim quotes from a condemned piece of literature takes no effort, in the 30s-40s, or today.

  1. Will you point to a date and place where the Lutheran Church condemned Luther's treatise called "The Jews and Their Lies" which the Nazis incorporated in their propaganda ?
  2. Most members of the Nazi Party, however, were Christians. Composed mostly by members of the Lutheran Evangelical tradition, members of the apostate Nazi inspired Positive Christianity sect and some of the Catholic faith tradition respectively. Since approximately there were two "of Luther" for every Catholic this seems feasible.
  3. The prevailing scholarly view since the Second World War is that the treatise exercised a major and persistent influence on Germany's attitude toward its Jewish citizens in the centuries between the Reformation and the Holocaust.[22] Four hundred years after it was written, the Nazis displayed On the Jews and Their Lies during Nuremberg rallies, and the city of Nuremberg presented a first edition to Julius Streicher, editor of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer, the newspaper describing it as the most radically antisemitic tract ever published.[23]
