He was a Lutheran pastor and a hero :) He stood up for what he believed in, even though it cost him his life. More information from today.wmit.net - April 9 Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born on 4 February 1906 in Breslau, Germany. He became a Lutheran pastor and theologian, attaining his doctorate at the University of Berlin before doing further postgraduate study at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
Bonhoeffer was a strong opponent of Nazism, and in 1939 joined a secret group of high-ranking military officers based in the Abwehr, or Military Intelligence Office, who wanted to overthrow the National Socialist regime by killing Hitler. After assisting Jews to escape to Switzerland, money was traced back to him: he was arrested in April 1943 and charged with conspiracy. In July 1944, an attempt was made to assassinate Hitler, and Bonhoeffer was found to have connections to the conspirators in the plot. He was executed by hanging at dawn on 9 April 1945, together with his brother Klaus and his brothers-in-law Hans von Dohnanyi and Rüdiger Schleicher. The last words he spoke were, "This is the end - for me, the beginning of life."
Bonhoeffer is considered a martyr for his faith, and was absolved of any crimes by the German government in the mid-1990s. His death on April 9th is commemorated in the calendar of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, and he is still considered one of the greatest, most insightful theologians.

At the risk of disappointing you, I don't think Bonhoeffer's main priority was helping Jews. He was an active opponent of the Nazi regime and paid for it with his life, but that is not the same as 'helping Jews'.
