I can’t stand it here right now‚ everything is against us Jews‚ people blame us for things that weren’t even our fault.

But this quote actually comes from a man who inspired most of the German hate towards the Jews‚ a man who was and still is regarded as one of the great reformists of the church. A man named Martin Luther. Martin Luther’s hate towards the Jews is present‚ not only in Nazi propaganda‚ but in Nazi actions.
