Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of German theologian and resistance fighter Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

He was hanged from a butcher's meat-hook at the concentration camp at Flossenbürg on April 9, 1945.

Earlier he had been a prisoner at Tegel in Berlin and from there was transferred to the concentration camp at Buchenwald outside Weimar before being sent to Flossenbürg, in Bavaria and on the border with the then Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic.
