"Porn Drives Demand" Part 3 by Roger C.
Dietrich was born into a large family in Breslau Germany. The year was 1906 and young Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the son of a psychiatrist father and a schoolteacher mother would have seven siblings. Later in life, he, along with his brother and two brothers-in-law would be executed by the Nazis during World War 2. But before that end, Dietrich completed a Doctor of Theology degree when he was only 21. He rose to prominence as a paster-theologian during the 1930s, as the Nazi Party was also rising in power. His strong faith, exposure to the social injustices in American black culture, and the church’s ineptitude to address them gave rise to his evolvement as a leading voice against Nazism. One of the Nazi’s first actions after they assumed control was to seize sectors that shaped public opinions – the arts, cinema, and radio. They removed anything they did not see as supportive of a new vision and favored arts that reinforced the narratives they wanted the German people to think and feel. They made laws that oppressed what they deemed racially inferior people and created death camps to systematically eliminate them. Dietrich Bonhoeffer openly opposed the Nazis, led an underground seminary, and joined a resistance effort to remove Hitler by planting a bomb at his hideout. He argued that Christians should not retreat from the world, but act in it. He was sent to Flossenburg concentration camp and hung two weeks before US troops liberated the camp. He was 39.
