Justizvollzugsanstalt München
Alexander Schmorell was sentenced to death on 19 April 1943 at the "Volksgerichtshof" ('People's Court of Justice') in the second trial against the White Rose. In the letters he wrote from prison, he tried to console his family and assured them that he was at peace with his fate and not fearful of death. Amongst his last words, now sometimes seen inscribed in his icon, was the command "Vergesst Gott Nicht!" ('Don't Forget God!'). On 13 July 1943, at the age of 25, Schmorell was put to death by guillotine along with Kurt Huber at the Munich-Stadelheim Prison.
