Dedicated to my self-published book "The Pastor and the Matriarch of the German Underground and their Times — a Polish Perspective." It was inspired in part when I taught English in Poland from September 2004 to July 2005, when I found a bronze cross monument dedicated to Dietrich Bonhoeffer in now Polish Wroclaw, but pre-WWII Breslau -- the birthplace of Dietrich in February 1906. Eventually it came to include the Matriarch Ruth von Kleist who regarded Dietrich like a son.

Excerpt for Chapter 4

I have uploaded an excerpt for Chapter 4 "The Aryan Paragraph" at http://barwinski.net/documents/pastor_and_the_matriarch/05_excerpts_chapter_04_pastor_and_the_matriarch.pdf

This infamous Paragraph embodies the philosophical core of National Socialism; it resulted in a set of disturbing new laws, by which all government employees had to be of Aryan stock. In the case of the German Church, compliance with this directive meant that all pastors of Jewish blood, including Dietrich’s dear friend Franz Hildebrandt, with lobbying by the pro-Hitler “German Christians,” were excluded from the ministry. As well, a modern-day parallel is drawn to the morally questionable Vatican deal with the People’s Republic of China in September 2018, and the horrific human rights abuses of the Chinese Communist Party. As well, a well known quote from the German pastor Martin Niemöller is made in this chapter, and re-quoted in Chapter 29.

My upcoming book "The Pastor and the Matriarch of the German Underground and their Times — a Polish Perspective."

It was inspired in part when I taught English in Poland from September 2004 to July 2005, when I found a bronze cross monument dedicated to Dietrich Bonhoeffer in now Polish Wroclaw, but pre-WWII Breslau -- the birthplace of Dietrich in February 1906. Eventually it came to include the Matriarch Ruth von Kleist who regarded Dietrich like a son.

As for myself, Vince Barwinski, I was born in Sydney Australia in 1962, taught English in Taiwan in 2003 and Poland, the land my paternal ancestors from September 2004 to June 2005. In Taiwan I met my future wife, whom I married upon my return to Australia from Poland in October 2005. However, it was in Poland, in February 2005 that I came upon my inspiration for this book. Namely the bronze cross memorial to the German anti-Nazi Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the modern-day Polish city of Wrocław – pre-WWII German Breslau and birthplace of Dietrich in February 1906.

It was the dual history of this city and my amateur passion for ...
