"[Brigham] Young especially hated Jews. 'I would rather undertake to convert five thousand Lamanites [Native Americans],' he announced, 'than to convert one of those poor miserable creatures whose fathers killed the Savior, and who say, 'Amen to the deed,' to this day. Yea, I would rather undertake to convert the devil himself, it it were possible.'"

[From Jewish author Stanley P. Hirshson, The Lion of the Lord. A Biography of Brigham Young, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1969, p. 255
