## Bio

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born 4 February 1906 in Germany and became a neo-orthodox theologian and founding member of the Confessing Church. His 1937 book The Cost of Discipleship became a modern classic, reshaping how Christians thought about faith in the secular world. He opposed the Nazi dictatorship openly — challenging the euthanasia program and the genocidal persecution of Jews when silence was safer. The Gestapo arrested him in April 1943 and held him at Tegel Prison for a year and a half before transferring him to Flossenbürg concentration camp. Accused of ties to the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler, he was tried alongside former Abwehr officers and hanged on 9 April 1945, days before the regime collapsed.
