Unpacking Bonhoeffer’s Legacy Today

Dietrich Bonhoeffer has long been celebrated as a powerful symbol of moral resistance to the Nazi regime, with his legacy claimed by Christians across the religious spectrum, from liberal Protestants to Christian Nationalists. Historically, though, he was not a major figure. What do his writings mean in that context?

Victoria J. Barnett, Ph.D. is one of the world’s preeminent scholars of religion and the Holocaust, as well as a leading expert on the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. She is the general editor of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works (English edition). Dr. Barnett served as Director of Programs on Ethics, Religion and the Holocaust at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Dr. Barnett will be joined by Dr. Ben Sax, the Jewish scholar at the ICJS.
