Strange thing about Luther. Early-on, he was tolerant and benevolent towards Jews, although he seems to have thought that his politeness would result in mass-conversion.

He became more and more intolerant as he aged and formed political alliances with the anti-Semitic princelings who kept him and his movement alive.

By the end, he was writing the shameful documents you mention. I also suspect that he was drinking heavily, if the story about heaving a pot of wine at the Devil is to believed.
