The Holy New Martyr Alexander is not an old man at all. A native of Orenburg, a medical student at the University of Munich, Alexander Schmorell, during the Second World War, became one of the organizers and active participants in the German Resistance group “White Rose”. He was only 25 years old when, by the verdict of a Nazi court, he and his comrades were executed... For his life's feat and faith, the Russian Orthodox Church has already canonized Alexander Schmorell as a saint. Based on unique documents, the author talks about the life and spiritual path of a young man who became a hero of Russian-German history.[Adapted for AlReader]
