Alexander Schmorell

Saint of the German Resistance

About this book

A gripping biography of a young Orthodox Christian who defied Hitler. At the height of World War II, Alexander Schmorell, a young man of Russian birth, joins a small band of students in Munich, Germany, called the White Rose. They expose the Nazi regime's atrocities and call for its overthrow.

This biography recounts Schmorell's journey, deeply inspired by his Orthodox Christian faith, willing to sacrifice his life as a testimony to his belief in God, beauty, and freedom, all of which the Nazis sought to destroy. Discover the story of a man who risked everything to struggle against a world that had lost its moorings.

  • Learn about the White Rose resistance movement.
  • Discover the power of faith in the face of evil.
  • Be inspired by a story of moral courage and sacrifice.

In 2012, the Russian Orthodox Church officially recognized him as a martyr and saint. The story of Alexander's life and death is made available to English readers here for the first time. For readers interested in World War II history, Christian biographies, and stories of resistance and faith.
