mark upon the whole city. He was a man of contagious spirit, eager and alert, quick to see opportunities of

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906 – 1945
https://www.biographyonline.net/spiritual/dietrich-bonhoeffer.html
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Feb. 4, 1906 – April 9, 1945) was a Protestant Lutheran Pastor,
theologian, and active in the German resistance to the policies of Hitler and Nazism.
Due to his opposition to the Nazi regime, Bonhoeffer was arrested and executed at
the Flossian concentration camp, during the last month of the war. He remains an
important symbol of opposition to Hitler, and his views on Christianity increasingly
influential.
Bonhoeffer was born in Breslau, Germany, in 1906. His family were not religious but
had a strong musical and artistic heritage. From an early age, Bonhoeffer displayed great musical talent, and the
pursuit of music was important throughout his life. His family was quite taken aback when, at the age of 14, he
announced he wanted to train and become a priest.
