I had ordered the famous book by Martin Luther from the Royal Danish Library. When it arrived I was a bit disappointed to see that it was not Dr. Luther's original work from 1542, but rather a Danish translation made by the Nazis in 1938 and re-printed by the neo-Nazis in 1972:

Nevertheless, the famous theologican's words are still stirring. Forget about sissy Catlick stuff like Mein Kampf - this is the real thing. Luther starts by pointing out that the Jews are not God's chosen people - as evidenced by their hard fate:
For such ruthless wrath of God is sufficient evidence that they assuredly have erred and gone astray. Even a child can comprehend this. For one dare not regard God as so cruel that he would punish his own people so long, so terribly, so unmercifully, and in addition keep silent, comforting them neither with words nor with deeds, and fixing no time limit and no end to it. Who would have faith, hope, or love toward such a God? Therefore this work of wrath is proof that the Jews, surely rejected by God, are no longer his people, and neither is he any longer their God.
Luther then gives a very accurate description of the Jews:
Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools...
However, they have not acquired a perfect mastery of the art of lying; they lie so clumsily and ineptly that anyone who is just a little observant can easily detect it. But for us Christians they stand as a terrifying example of God's wrath.
Over and above that we let them get rich on our sweat and blood, while we remain poor and they suck the marrow from our bones.
Luther even has a "final solution" for the Jew question:
First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians,
[...]
Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed.
[...]
Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them.
[...]
Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb.
[...]
Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside, since they are not lords, officials, tradesmen, or the like. Let they stay at home. .....
[...]
Seventh, I commend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow,
Finally Luther reminds us that anybody who associates with Jews will be thrown in Hell by our sweet Lord Jesus:
Now let me commend these Jews sincerely to whoever feels the desire to shelter and feed them, to honor them, to be fleeced, robbed, plundered, defamed, vilified, and cursed by them, and to suffer every evil at their hands -- these venomous serpents and devil's children, who are the most vehement enemies of Christ our Lord and of us all. [...] Then he will be a perfect Christian, filled with works of mercy for which Christ will reward him on the day of judgment, together with the Jews in the eternal fire of hell!
