Eisenach, Germany – High-ranking officials of Germany’s Lutheran church have unveiled an installation to remember the malign activities of a so-called “dejudification institute” that was founded 80 years ago to eliminate all Jewish influence from Christian life in the country then run by the Nazis.

Lutheran Bishop Ilse Junkermann unveiled the memorial Monday in the eastern German town of Eisenach in conjunction with several members of state Lutheran churches from across Germany whose predecessor organizations founded the institute in 1939.
The institute had aimed to delete all positive references about Jews in the bible and to push out Jewish converts from the church.
“…and to push out Jewish converts from the church.” Fascinating, they didn’t even want Jews to become Christians!!
#1 . This is an important point. The Nazis were not religious bigots. They were racial antisemites. Conversion could not save a person with Jewish blood. No action could save a person with Jewish blood. They viewed Judaism as a genetic disease and they desired to kill all those who carried it.

Many people do not understand this. (It is a goofy concept.) The Jews did not do something and so were hated. The Jewish simply existed and so they were hated.
