Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s letters and papers

Description

An old photo gives a brief look into an inauspicious cell at a Nazi jail called Tegel. Wan light falls in from a small window that is excessively high for a detainee to use to take in a scene, yet one who is ready and delicate may see the upper parts of a high tree or a low hanging cloud, and through that opening, hear a thrush. A standard-issue board bed with a sweeping drawn tight over it takes up the majority of the little space in the cell and in the image, and a board to which one could connect sees is on the unadorned divider.
