This is the cell
























in which Gavrilo Princip died of tuberculosis of the bone
before the 'Great' War ended, in April 1918.
The prison was at Terezín in North Bohemia
 - to be called Theresienstadt by the Nazis.
The children of the Archduke whom he killed 
perished in Dachau, and the Archduke's uncle Rudolf
committed suicide at Mayerling some thirty years before
the outbreak of the First World War.

Truly, there is no place on the internet with information, insights, and ironies like this one. Well done.
