Russian House in Berlin opened exhibition dedicated to hero of German anti-fascist resistance Alexander Schmorel

The exposition The Russian Soul of the White Rose is divided into several blocks. It tells about the life and exploits of a participant of the German anti-fascist resistance during the Second World War, one of the founders of the student group "White Rose".

Pavel Izvolsky, Head of the Russian House in Berlin, welcomed the audience. The exhibition will run until 31 October 2025.

It should be noted that in 2012 the Russian Orthodox Church canonised Alexander Schmorel. He is honoured as Saint Alexander of Munich.
