Today is the 70th anniversary of the death of German theologian and Hitler opponent Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
He was hanged on a meat hook in Flossenbürg concentation camp just two weeks before the arrival of the US Army.
He was an influential opponent to the Nazis. His best known book is The Cost of Discipleship.
Bonhoeffer was born in Breslau, then in Silesia, today in Poland, in 1906.

Thanks for the reminder.
I had blogged it in 2012.
Dr. Daniele Ganser said once 'there is a Hitler in all of us, but there is also a Ghandi in all of us' which brings me to the point that the world is not forever peaceful just because Hitler is dead. I think it was Socrates who said 'Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it!'
Right now the US-EU-Nato formation is supporting the Neo-Nazi Goverment in Urkaine, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care! Not even Isreal is bothered about it!

Lets remember the 100.000 Irish children which were sold as slaves during the 1650s. It's unbelievable what people are able to do!
