On The Jews And Their Lies
Part 1
Translated by Martin H. Bertram
I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or
against them. But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people
do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have
published this little book, so that I might be found among those who
opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians
to be on their guard against them. I would not have believed that a
Christian could be duped by the Jews into taking their exile and
wretchedness upon himself. However, the devil is the god of the world, and
wherever God's word is absent he has an easy task, not only with the weak
