LITERATURE + LECTURES

Holocaust Museum Houston presents Bonhoeffer Tours, tours focusing on the German Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (pictured), every Sunday afternoon  in October 2010. Location: the museum's Morgan Family Center.

The life and ministry of Bonhoeffer and his message to the church in the context of the events of the Holocaust will be the focus of tours of the Museum's permanent exhibit, German railcar and Danish fishing boat. Tours include a look at the early influences on Bonhoeffer before the Holocaust, his organization of the Confessing Church to stand with the Jews in reaction to the Aryan clause and his imprisonment and execution at the Flossenburg concentration camp by direct order from Adolf Hitler.

 Admission and the walk-in tour are free. To schedule a private group tour for 10 or more in advance, call 713-942-8000, ext. 102 or visit the Museum's Web site at www.hmh.org.
