Peter Joseph Kentenich (16 November 1885 – 15 September 1968) was a prominent German Pallottine priest, educator, and theologian best known as the founder of the Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement. Following the rise of National Socialism, Kentenich openly opposed Nazi ideology. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1941 and sent to the Dachau Concentration Camp, where he spent over three years. Remarkably, he survived the camp and even managed to expand the movement internationally from behind its barbed wire, writing spiritual treatises on scraps of smuggled paper
