So you are saying that only Roman Catholics were guilty of antisemitism? Didn't martin Luther write On the Jews and their Lies?

He learned his anti-semitism when he was a RCC Priest.

Luther was actually somewhat philosemitic when the reformation began but turned viciously anti-jew in his later years. On the Jews and their lies was written only 3 years before his death.

Luthers anti-jew writings were often quoted by the Nazi's during their rise to power....from wiki:

....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.

Luthers protestant church was deaply anti-jew and played a role in the run-up to the holocaust. It is documented fact.
