A Forgotten Tragedy that Changed History: One Boy's Search for Truth and Reckoning Amidst the Gathering Storm of World War II.
Herschel Grynszpan was a teenage undocumented immigrant in Paris 1938. On the 7th of November he walked into the office of Ernst vom Rath, an attache at the German Embassy, and shot him dead. The Nazis used the murder to whip up anti-Semitic sentiment, sparking Kristallnacht, that ultimately lead to the Holocaust.
Herschel's story is a reminder of a world that once was, and a history that still lingers in the dark shadows of humanity-a boy's struggle for freedom and identity against an evil regime. From an early age, he was aware of the slow trickle of anti-Semitic laws being passed by the Nazis. He was kicked and spat on, cast aside at the back of the classroom because of who-and what-he was. He developed a burning desire to bring this to the world's attention.
Herschel's story does not end there... A greater challenge awaited him, one that would prove his true heroism.
His journey is one of the most mysterious stories of the Second World War.
