"Both reared under Catholic anti semitism"

Nobody in their right mind believes that. Unless you are claiming that the Catholic Church somehow controlled all of Luther's beliefs giving them all credit and all blame for all of his actions you have to concede that he was an individual of free thought and free will. The logical refutation of your hypothesis is that when Luther ceased being a Catholic he did not cease being an antisemite. Further, neither all Catholics or Lutherans are antisemites making Luther's evil purely a personal issue.
