efore Nasi guards took Dietrich
BBonhoeffer away, he managed to
convey a message to an English
friend: Tills is the end for me, the
beginning of Me."
Bonhoeffer was tried by a Nasi court
and sentenced to death the same night
At dawn on April 8, 1945, BonhoeCer
said a prayer and walked up the steps
to the gallows.
Nazi Germany fell one month later.
With Bonhoeffer's execution, the
German church lost a powerful intellect
and a creative Christian. The world
mourned a spiritual leader who had
opposed Hitler's rule and the perversion
cf German church.
The Rev., Wclf-Dister Zimmermann,
73, of West Berlin, was in Lincoln last
week giving lectures on the life and
work of. teacher eM fellow theologian,
Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
"It Is kind of confusing to me
because now he is a big man, a big
hero," Zimmerman said. "But then we
were just a group trying to figure out
what it was to be Christian."
Bonhoeffer was born in 1908 to a
family of doctors and theologians. He
studied at the University of Berlin, but
did not absorb the liberalism of Berlin.
His conservative views would change as
Hitler's Nazi-socialist party rose to
power.
"He was not a theologian as you
would think of theologians today," Zim
mermann said "He did not produce a
theological system. He tried to use
theology to teach how to respond to
problems in the state."
Bonhoeffer studied at New York City's
Union Theological Seminary in 1930. He
wrote that his fellow American students
were "less interested in real theology
than in helping the poor and needy in
more practical ways." He studied prob
lems in the city's black ghettos, and
attended a black Baptist church for six
months.
EonhocHcr returned to Berlin in
1931 and taught at the university. He
joined the World Alliance of Churches,
which would later allow him to spread
worldwide the reports of Hitler's
oppression of German church life.
Hitler came to power when the Nazis
controlled the 1932 elections. Bon
hoeffer immediately aligned himself
with evangelical opposition to Hitler.
"An important man is an unimpor
tant man who decides to take a step
first," Zimmerman said. "So I guess Bon
hoeffer took a lot of first steps and he
took them by himself"
A few German Protestants, including
Bonhoeffer, founded the Confessing
Church, an Dlegsl and underground
organisation. And in 1034, about 1,000
theologians signed the Barmen Theolog
ical Declaration, which rejected Hitler's
contention that the church was an
instrument of the state.
BonhoefTer, Zinrnermaim and
other theologians started an illegal
seminary for training ministers at Fin
kenwalde in 1035. The following year, he
began teaching again at the University
of Berlin, but was fired for his anti
Hitler stands. The Evangelical Lutheran
Church had sent a memorandum to Kil
ter accusing him of perverting religion
and condemning his concentration
camps.
The Nazis began following Bon
hoeffer's movements closely. In 1939, he
was forbidden to speak in Berlin, or
anywhere else in the Reich. Bonhoeffer, a
pacifist, escaped military service by
serving as a courier in the German Mil
itary Intelligence Service.
The Gestapo quit dogging BonhoefTer's
movements, and he came in contact
with insurgents in Intelligence who . -planned
to assassinate Hitler. As resist
ance escalated, Bonhoeffer became a
liaison between the resistance
