"Living and working in Washington only eleven years, the Reverend Dr. Peter Marshall nevertheless has left his
            mark upon the whole city.  He was a man of contagious spirit, eager and alert, quick to see opportunities of
            service and to meet their challenge....In classic language, he was a builder of the kingdom of God on this earth."

            Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906 – 1945

            https://www.biographyonline.net/spiritual/dietrich-bonhoeffer.html

            Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Feb. 4, 1906 – April 9, 1945) was a Protestant Lutheran Pastor,
            theologian, and active in the German resistance to the policies of Hitler and Nazism.

            Due to his opposition to the Nazi regime, Bonhoeffer was arrested and executed at
            the Flossian concentration camp, during the last month of the war. He remains an
            important symbol of opposition to Hitler, and his views on Christianity increasingly
            influential.
            Bonhoeffer was born in Breslau, Germany, in 1906. His family were not religious but
            had a strong musical and artistic heritage.  From an early age, Bonhoeffer displayed great musical talent, and the
            pursuit of music was important throughout his life.  His family was quite taken aback when, at the age of 14, he
            announced he wanted to train and become a priest.
