Bonhoeffer, Agent of Grace

90 minutes
Source: PBS Video

What is a moral person to do in a time of savage immorality? That question tormented Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German clergyman of great distinction who actively opposed Hitler and the Nazis. His convictions cost him his life. The Nazis hanged him on April 9, 1945, less than a month before the end of the war. Bonhoeffer's last years, his participation in the German resistance and his moral struggle are dramatized in this film. Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace sheds light on the little-known efforts of the German resistance.

90 minutes
Source: First Run Features

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a young German theologian who offered one of the first clear voices of resistance to Adolf Hitler. Bonhoeffer openly challenged his church to stand with the Jews in their hour of need, and eventually joined a plot to kill Hitler. Archival footage is interwoven with interviews with friends, family, and students of Bonheoffer, with historians and theologians, and with the words of Bonhoeffer himself.

Childhood Experiences of German Jews

23 minutes
Source: Facing History and Ourselves

These excerpts from the testimonies of five German Jews representing different areas of Germany explain what circumstances were like for Jewish children attending school between 1933 and 1939. A principal theme of the montage is that antisemitic legislation was applied at different levels of intensity in different areas of Germany and not all Jews felt equally threatened by the discriminatory policies of the prewar Nazi regime.
