As Dietrich sang the German national anthem, he contemplated the devastation Hitler and the Nazis were perpetrating on Europe. Dietrich would do whatever he could to stop them, even if it meant pulling the trigger on the fuhrer himself. He had thought about it from every angle, and his conscience was clear.

Born into a loving family, Dietrich Bonhoeffer pursued a life as a pastor, teacher, theologian—and spy. He spoke out about the trouble in Germany when Adolph Hitler came to power, urging the Christian church to rescue disparaged people groups and resist Hitler's evil empire.

Accused of being a troublemaker, Dietrich continued on fearlessly in the midst of wickedness. His work as a spy in the German resistance and participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler led to imprisonment and eventual execution. But the lesson of his life story remains: "Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

This story is an amazing modern testimony. But the Performance is a bit too wooden in style.

Amazing story

This is the first time I have heard the story of Bonhoeffer, but what a good introduction. It gives me an urge to seek out other titles on this amazing Christian pastor, his struggle with a menace like Hitler, and his desire for the Lord to use him in the church in Germany.

Unbelievable trust in God
