- A young pastor in Germany when Hitler came to power, Bonhoeffer was one of the first among his fellow countrymen to recognize the threat posed by Nazism to the basic human values of Western civilization. A leader in the Confessing Church (that group of pastors which actively opposed the ‘nazification’ of the German Lutheran Church), Bonhoeffer also played an active role in the German resistance movement. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943, spent two years in prison and concentration camps, and was hanged at Flossenburg camp on April 9, 1945. He was 39 years old. –Container.
