A person who is unacquainted with the devil might wonder why they are so particularly hostile toward Christians. They have no reason to act this way, since we show them every kindness. They live among us, enjoy our shield and protection, they use our country and our highways, our markets and streets. Meanwhile our princes and rulers sit there and snore with mouths hanging open and permit the Jews to take, steal, and rob from their open money bags and treasures whatever they want. That is, they let the Jews, by means of their usury, skin and fleece them and their subjects and make them beggars with their own money. For the Jews, who are exiles, should really have nothing, and whatever they have must surely be our property. They do not work, and they do not earn anything from us, nor do we give or present it to them, and yet they are in possession of our money and goods and are our masters in our own country and in their exile. A thief is condemned to hang for the theft of ten florins, and if he robs anyone on the highway, he forfeits his head. But when a Jew steals and robs ten tons of gold through his usury, he is more highly esteemed than God himself.

Although not an "anti-Semitic" book by any fashion, but rather an attack on Judaism, it still contains lots of usable materials which prove, if such things are needed, that hostile Jewish behavior has not changed over ages, nor did our worthless toleration of them while living in our midst. We have always given them preferential status: in Luther's time because they were "children of God", now because they are "victims of Holocaust".
A German in Luther's time was as worthless as it is today: he could be abused with impunity by his overlords, he had to work as a serf to feed a class of inbred idlers who used money borrowed from Jews to entertain their loathsome lifestyles. A Jew, however, was shielded by special laws and could NOT be abused without retaliation from his kinsmen, usually in the form of withdrawing financial support for the so-called "princes". In other words Germans, in their own land, held a much lower status than Jews, who were nothing but ungrateful foreigners.
