Abstract

Part 1 of an interview conducted by Dr. James Patrick Kelley with Frau Dr. Renate Bethge, née Schleicher, on May 28, 1984 in Villiprott-Wachtberg, Germany. Frau Dr. Bethge was the niece of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and eventually married Bonhoeffer's close friend and biographer Eberhard Bethge. In this interview, she describes growing up in the extended Bonhoeffer family and the attitudes of her family towards the Nazis, the German church, and the Confessing Church. She offers insight into the familial influences on Dietrich and Klaus Bonhoeffer.
