I wonder if anyone knows of a good translation of, “On the Jews and Their Lies” by Martin Luther. I’ve looked at some that seem to be published by racist organizations. I don’t really trust those people to faithfully render the original, as they may exaggerate some of it and make it worse. I just want to know what Luther wrote, without being dragged into modern hate literature in general.

Also, am I the only one reading this stuff? Seems like this decade should be a good time to make a reappraisal of Luther and Erasmus, especially as both seemed to be significantly anti-Semitic. There might be other reasons, too, why it might be good to look at them again.
