The Best of a Bad Lot?


Not quite. Dietrich Bonhoeffer far surpassed most in his moral standing considering his context. Sure, he is anti-semitic in the beginning and I'm disheartened upon this discovery, but he was on the right track. Toward the end of his life I'd say he had it almost right. He was often ambivalent in his standing on the Jewish Question, but he was not ambivalent on his opinion regarding Hitler and the Third Reich.
What if more people had been like him?
