Late in life, Luther apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks. Convenient for you to leave that out...

Kind of like pointing out that the Amazing Grace author (Newton) was a slave trader...while failing to mention that he was a repenting ex- slave trader.

Do you have a source for that? I had understood that the opposite was true-- that Luther originally called for tolerance of the Jews, hoping to convert them, and became violently antisemitic later in his life.
