Bonhoeffer (Documentary on PBS MONDAY Feb6)
pbs.org ^ | current (2-5-06) | uncredited

Posted on 02/05/2006 7:09:41 PM PST by VOA

from the PBS website for "Bonhoeffer":
He was born into a comfortable, upper middle class family and he
risked it all to join the German Resistance. He had deep respect
for human life, but he committed himself to joining plots to
assassinate Hitler. Facing the death sentence in prison, he wrote
some of the most compelling theology of the 20th century.
(snip)
Bonhoeffer is the compelling story of one man’s struggle against
Nazism and its intimidation of the German Church. His legacy
includes a poignant body of work that documents his struggles to
determine the will of God and his exemplary calm and concern
for others as he faced the prospect of his own death.
(snip)
Rare archival footage, interviews with former students and
family members and the voice of Klaus Maria Brandauer
(Out of Africa) bring this moving story to life.

Pardon the ping…as you post occasionally under the keyword “persecution”
this ping is intended to alert you to the showing of the documentary
“Bonhoeffer” on PBS Monday, Feb. 6.
I’ve not seen this show, therefore I can’t say if it will be as good as
the excellent docudrama that PBS aired a few years ago (“Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace”).

A bttt, and thanks for the ping. From the PBS site:
On weekends he volunteered to teach at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem.

Can you imagine what this Church must have been like during that time?

Looking forward to watching this.

In the previous docudrama (Agent of Grace), there was a short scene
of Bonhoeffer's visit.
I think I read somewhere that Bonhoeffer (despite what he'd been told
in Europe) was suprised to find that American blacks and whites to
be fairly similar in mannerism, action and personality.
