Deitrich Bonhoeffer

He was a German pastor born in the early 1900s who had the opportunity to stay in England or the US during WWII, but instead he went back to Germany to be with his people. He was placed in a concentration camp and eventually hanged by the Nazis out of spite event though the war was just about over. His writings are still influential, and his life was a great example for all. I learned from him that Christians should not run away from messy situations, but instead we are called to intervene in the midst of brokenness and suffering.
