(Founded by Gerald L. K. Smith)
Attention, Reader: This book is not published for sectarian purposes. The publishers, as
indicated above, are also publishing the edicts of more than 20 popes who dealt with the Jewish
problem. Their edicts are as strong as anything contained in this work by Dr. Martin Luther.
INTRODUCTION
In preparing to read this book you are about to view some of the most sensational and
thought arresting language ever to be put in print.
The publishers of this treatise by Dr. Martin Luther, the pioneer of Protestantism, do not
necessarily present this work as an accurate expression of their opinion. The chief reason for its
publication is to give the reader an accurate translation of Luther’s treatment of one of the most
delicate and dangerous subjects for a public man to discuss - the Jews.
This translation is not presented as a sectarian work or a partisan treatise. When we set
out to find the book in its original language and when we proceeded to have it translated, we were
shocked and amazed at the interference we encountered from It wide variety of sources. Two
different translators were made the victims of intimidation, and only after a rather dramatic
experience, were we able to complete its translation in spite of its brevity.
In effecting the translation of this work we became increasingly convinced that a well
organized plot to keep this book hidden exists.
Luther’s experience with the Jews was very disappointing. He spent many years trying to
convert them. Like St. Paul, he gave the Jews the first chance at the gospel, but concluded in later
years, as the reader will soon see that his efforts in this direction were futile.
This book is published only in the interest of accuracy. If it falls into the hands of a
highly technical student of the 16th Century German, the Publishers will appreciate any
correction which might improve the next edition of this work. The demand for this little book is
so great that we expect it to go into numerous editions. We find among sincere Christian people a
deep resentment over the fact that the work of one as prominent as Martin Luther has been kept
so scientifically and so deliberately away from the eyes of his millions of admirers.
Some of Dr. Luther’s language will shock the reader, but it is our business to give to you
the words of the Reformer just as he wrote them, and not on the basis of our agreement or
disagreement.
Regardless of any other purpose that this translation may serve, it will serve one
fundamental pur-pose; namely, this generation is not the first generation which has faced a Jewish
problem. Yes, it will serve a second purpose; namely, an alertness to the Jewish problem does not
necessarily indicate that the individuals who are alerted are depraved or un-Christian.
The Publishers
Note: The readers of this work are warned not to conclude that the Luther viewpoint
concerning the Jews is necessarily Protestant. Numerous Popes used language as strong, if not
stronger, than the language used by Dr. Luther. In fact, the ghettos were established by Papal
edict, and the segregation of Christian communities from Jewish communities originated in edicts
coming out of Rome. The purpose of this note Is to warn the readers that the problem has never
been uniquely Protestant or Catholic or in any way sectarian. Men of all faiths have agreed with
Luther and men of all faiths have disagreed with Luther.
Attention, Doubters: Some individuals will doubt that these writings originated with
Martin Luther. For the information of the reader the original lang-uage may be found in Martin
Luther’s works in the Congressional Library, Washington, D.C., and in any one of several
accredited Lutheran seminaries. Numerous clergymen of all denominations are aware of the
existence of this work. They are also aware of the fact that this is the first English translation to
be published in the United States - so far as we are able to ascertain.
Note: This published work by Luther was, among the last of his writings. Luther, it will
be recalled, died in the prime of life, having lived only to the age of 63.
