 Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 - 1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian and activive member of German resistance movement against Nazism. He was also a founding member of the Confessing Church (a Christian resistance movement in Nazi Germany).
After studying theology in New York City and serving as a pastor in London, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany in 1931 as Hitler was rising to power. A strong opponent of Nazism, he was involved, together with Martin Niemöller, Karl Barth and others, in setting up the Confessing Church. Between late 1933 and 1935 the Gestapo banned him from preaching; then teaching; and finally any kind of public speaking. During this time, Bonhoeffer worked closely with numerous opponents of Adolf Hitler.
He was arrested in April 1943 after money used to help Jews escape to Switzerland was traced to him. He was charged with conspiracy and imprisoned in Berlin for a year and a half. After moving to a series of prisons and concentration camps ending at Flossenburg, he was eventually executed by hanging at dawn on 9 April 1945, just three weeks before the liberation of the city. |
