Study Notes

Luther and Anti-Semitism

Luther's anti-Semitic rhetoric in the 1540s was extreme, even by the standards of his time.
Luther's views on Jews were not unusual for his era, as many Europeans of the time held anti-Semitic beliefs.
In the late 19th century, Luther's statues were erected in Germany as part of the country's identity-building and empire expansion.

Luther's Statues

A giant statue of Luther was erected in Baltimore in the 19th century as part of an ethnic conflict between German and Irish Catholics.
Luther's statues were used to "stick it to the opposition" in the 19th century, symbolizing the conflict between different ethnic groups.

The Holocaust

The Holocaust did not come solely from Luther's anti-Semitic teachings, but rather from a long tradition of anti-Semitic feelings in Europe.
Luther's extreme rhetoric towards the end of his life, particularly in his 1543 treatise, contributed to the anti-Semitic sentiment that led to the Holocaust.

Luther's Changing Views on Jews

In 1523, Luther wrote a treatise that sought to combat anti-Jewish sentiment and facilitate outreach to Jews, believing that Jesus Christ would return when the Jews converted.
Luther's views on Jews changed dramatically after 1525, when he became disillusioned with the corruption of the Lutheran Church and the failure of the Reformation to bring about the return of Jesus Christ.

Luther's Frustration with Jews

Luther's frustration with Jews stemmed from their refusal to see Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.
Luther believed that the conversion of Jews was necessary for Jesus Christ to return.

The Context of Luther's Time

In the 16th century, people who were not assimilated into society were often persecuted, burned, drowned, or exiled.
Luther's anti-Semitic views were not unique to him, as many other prominent figures of the time, such as Zwingli, held similar views.
