What it is
A late treatise calling for synagogues and Jewish homes to be burned, books confiscated, and Jews driven from the land.
Why it lasted
Catalogued because it must be known and must not be excused. It was reprinted by the Nazis, and Lutheran bodies worldwide have since formally repudiated it.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
