Sunday Bonhoeffer: "It's incredibly nice being able to be outside day after day. And up here we always resolve to move here permanently rather than have the house no longer belong to us someday. You really can't imagine a more restorative vacation." -To his parents from Friedrichsbrunn 12/8/1930

Dr. Tobias Korenke, the grand nephew of Klaus and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, spoke and acted out today as the AfD was allowed to place a wreath at the Bendlerblock memorial. (Commerating those who took part in the 20 July 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler's life) I support Dr. Korenke.
