Sunday Bonhoeffer: "Stifter once put it very beautifully: Pain is the holiest angel, who reveals treasures that would otherwise have remained hidden in the depths forever. People have become greater through it than through all the world's joy." Letter to Maria vo Wedemeyer 12 Nov 1943

New issue of The Bonhoeffer Bulletin this Friday!! I'm taking some extra time with this issue as my research uncovered a couple of extra questions I did not expect!
The movie poster for the 1930 movie adaptation of "All Quiet on the Western Front." The poster shows a drawn portrait of a WW1 German soldier facing front but with his eyes looking to the right. He is wearing a helmet and a great coat. There is an orange hue to the picture, insinuating that there is an explosion going off near the soldier infront of him out of the view of the observer. The text on the poster is yellow and orange and states: Carl Laemmle presents All Quiet on the Western Front.  Produced by carl Laemmle Jr. Directed by Lewis Milestone Universal Picture

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
A black and white photo of the Bonhoeffer family vacation home in Friedrichsbrunn. It is a large home with two stories and many windows with shutters. It appears to be made of brick and wood. It is fairly whimsical, looking as it It came out of a German fairy tale. In the picture, the Bonhoeffer children are playing on the lawn .

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.

For this reason, the July issue has been postponed. If I can get one out this month, it might be shorter and sadly without essay.

I spent the day researching this artist and why Bonhoeffer admired his novels. Do you want to know who the artist was and the answer to why Bonhoeffer liked him so much? Hold tight, the July issue of The Bonhoeffer Bulletin is just over a week away!

The colour pallette  for the painting uses light pale coulours of greens, yellows, light browns.A painting of a village nestled amongst pale yellow hills. There are few trees. The houses are small and close together. The tallest building seems to be a church on the right-hand side of the painting.Another painting of a landscape with light green hills and a river flowing through the valley. There is a large white building in the background and a few two story white buildings with black roofs in the foreground lower right corner.the sky is pale purple, blue, and yellow with some red highlights.

Sunday Bonhoeffer: "Things are going well here. Although there is a great deal to do, it is wonderful work, and I am grateful for it. Although things do not look very rosy in the outside world, one should be grateful for each day when we can work, live and be together." Letter to S&W Dreß 27/7/35

Sunday Bonhoeffer: "Afternoon to evening the World Exhibition...The Russians are too pompous, and in addition completely bourgeois. Most of the others too commercialized. Overall no particular impressions." 16 June 1939 diary entry while in New York.
A black and white portrait of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He is a white male in his mid 30's. He is balding and wearing round wire rimmed glasses. He is wearing a dark suit that you can see from the chest up and a white shirt and stripped tie. His face I'd directed at the camera where his eyes are looking a little to his left.

Working on the May issue of The Bonhoeffer Bulletin, which includes the mini essay, "Bonhoeffer's glimps of the 'World of Tomorrow'!" Hopefully, it will be published this weekend!
The very coulourful poster for the 1939 World's Fair in New York. It has a blue background with an art deco drawing of one the Fair's signature attractions, the spherical building called the Perisphere, and its sister building, the tall triangular building, the Trylon. Both buildings are a white and yellow colour. There is also a small drawing of the skyscraper skyline of New York, biplanes flying in a diamond formation and beams of what look like search lights. The words 'New York World's Fair 1939 The World of Tomorrow' are along the bottom.

A picture of three pieces of paper stapled to others. At the top is the logo of the Bonhoeffer Bulletin of a yellow lion standing on his hind legs . Also printed at the top are the words Bonhoeffer Bulletin issue and a line to fill in. Under neither it says introduction. The forms are laying on a duotang on my dark wooden desk.

Large computer microphone, laptop open to a word document, prices of paper with different coloured postit notes on them, a larger monitor with the substack splash page for the Bonhoeffer Bulletin on it, a ubiquitous blue mug of tea, my wood Oxford clock set to UK time and various pens, computer mouse remote for TV and other junk on my desk.
