Comment: Here is another interesting quote from MacCulloch's book (on page 666): "Luther's writing of 1543 [ON JEWS AND THEIR LIES] is a blueprint for the Nazis' KRISTALLNACHT of 1938. It recommends that in retaliation for Jewish obstinacy, synagogues should be burned, Jewish literature confiscated, Jewish teaching forbidden, and vengeance taken for the killing of Christ." All that on page 666! 

I find MacCulloch's book, SILENCE, A CHRISTIAN HISTORY, equally insightful.
