The Plot to Kill Hitler – Patricia McCormick – Nonfiction
 
The Gestapo would be arriving at any minute.  Young German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer had everything in order – papers hidden, but leaving a few notes on his desk for Hitler’s men to see. The men arrived as expected, Bonhoeffer calmly said good-by to his parents and followed the men down the stairs, leaving behind evidence in his own handwriting that he was indeed part of a conspiracy to kill Adolf Hitler.  It was April 5, 1943 and Dietrich would never return home. In fact, it was discovered that Bonhoeffer was the first person to provide evidence to the Allies that Jews were being sent to concentration camps and executed.  What makes a person stand up for what’s right when no one else will join you in your stand?  This page-turning true story reads like a spy novel.  As I visited a concentration camp memorial in Germany this summer, I thought about Bonhoeffer and wondered if I would have the courage to put my life on the line for what was right like he did.
