Us Lutherans actually repudiate Luther's antisemitism:

And no, the man wasn't a saint (something he said himself).

And it only took, what, four or five centuries? I would say something snarky here about the amazing moral leadership on display, except that this actually does seem to be slightly faster than average for a major religious sect as old as Lutheranism.

Ultimately all you can do is gently guide the world toward secular humanism, as people raised under the irrational tribalism of any religion struggle to writhe out of the pit they were born in. Calling out the faults of one flavor of religion is silly.
