Bonhoeffer was a pastor, theologian, pacifist, and a Nazi Resister. I recently watched a documentary on his life. It was a very touching narrative on the nature of faith as well as informative. Many interviews with friends and family give the documentary an authentic feel. It's hard to watch this film and not become emotional. The document explores the reason behind the German Church embracing Hitler and the Nazi Party, which gives birth to a resistance fixed on exterminating Hitler. Bonhoeffer played a major role in the resistance but would eventually be caught and hung for conspiring to kill the Hitler. It is a refreshing film that questions the stereotypical German conscious during the Holocaust. One man standing firm in truth against a nation completely bewitched.
