Here is the apology from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (not Germany, where approximately two thirds of that wicked generation were "of Luther") that your links did not provide. Perhaps the ELCA has overseer authority over the German Lutherans and so apologized for them as well.

In the spirit of that truth-telling, we who bear his name and heritage must with pain acknowledge also Luther's anti-Judaic diatribes and the violent recommendations of his later writings against the Jews. As did many of Luther's own companions in the sixteenth century, we reject this violent invective, and yet more do we express our deep and abiding sorrow over its tragic effects on subsequent generations. In concert with the Lutheran World Federation, we particularly deplore the appropriation of Luther's words by modern anti-Semites for the teaching of hatred toward Judaism or toward the Jewish people in our day.

Grieving the complicity of our own tradition within this history of hatred, moreover, we express our urgent desire to live out our faith in Jesus Christ with love and respect for the Jewish people. We recognize in anti-Semitism a contradiction and an affront to the Gospel, a violation of our hope and calling, and we pledge this church to oppose the deadly working of such bigotry, both within our own circles and in the society around us. Finally, we pray for the continued blessing of the Blessed One upon the increasing cooperation and understanding between Lutheran Christians and the Jewish community.

Like I said, Lefties. elca of abortion on demand, gay marriage. They’re no more Lutheran than you are.

They don't, they are lefties, meaningless apologies appeal to them. LWF another lib org.

If the 'wicked generation' Germans were 'of Luther', they spent all their time reading the JATL, and ignored the vast volume of hie other work.

Luther's good work isn't diminished by JATL. He was a sinner used by God. Peter denied Christ, was an Apostle, Paul actually delivered Jewish Christians to death, another Apostle. Catholic historians don't mention the ant-Jewish screeds of their reformation heroes Eck and Erasmus.

16th Century Anti-Jewish Roman Catholic Theologians.

Luther was attacked by his Catholic adversaries for what they deemed his soft stance on Jews in Luther's younger days.
