Bonhoeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, young German theologian/pacifist became one of the first voices of resistance to Adolf Hitler. A prolific writer and acclaimed preacher, Bonhoeffer came to New York on a teaching fellowship and taught Sunday school in the famed Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. When he returned to Germany in 1932, he brought with him a new awareness of radical prejudice and became one of the first clear voices to challenge the Christian churches to stand with the Jews. Through Bonhoeffers story we see the Church of Germany in the 1930's which ordained Hitler as the "savior" of the German people. Against Bonhoeffer's strong protest, the Church clung to a false sense of patriotic nationalism when confronted with the reality of brutal Jewish oppression and in so doing "…paved the way for the Holocaust".
