Dietrich Bonhoffer
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp) At a time when much of the world was either
enticed with, or entrapped, by fascism, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer dared to live the morally responsible
Christian life to its most expressive, and tragic,
end. As a theologically rooted opponent to
National Socialism, and later as a member of the
political resistance against Nazism, Bonhoeffer
was recognized as a leader even by his enemies and
was hanged by the Gestapo in 1945. His legacy has
inspired many and has demonstrated his landmark
life and works to be among the most important of
the twentieth century, and the most relevant for
our times ahead. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The hideousness that the Germans demonstrated was beyond comprehension to the outside world.

Some survived by aiding the Nazis, but most survived by luck or sheer force of will. While it cannot be assumed that there are no great emotional scars remaining for the survivors, some of whom have taken their own lives since, it is quite evident that the strength many of these survivors demonstrated was insurmountable in the face of devastating odds.
