Unfortunately, later in life Luther published several essays that were very harmful to the Jews, including the notorious “On the Jews and their Lies.” In 1523 Luther wrote: “I hope that if one deals in a kindly way with the Jews and instructs them carefully from Holy Scripture, many of them will become genuine Christians and turn again to the faith of their fathers, the prophets and patriarchs. They will only be frightened further away from it if their Judaism is so utterly rejected that nothing is allowed to remain, and they are treated only with arrogance and scorn.”  From the Estate of John H. Tiejten.
