They also forget to mention that Martin Luther, the person held so high in America and abroad for starting protestantism, was also an anti-semite. He was a quite vocal one at that. In 1543 he publiushed a book called

Sources if the Holocaust is a book I'm using in my Holocaust class right now. It's a document reader of sorts filled with documents and excerts from documents that supported antisemitic views. It covers everything from the New Testament to the modern responses.
