A Forgotten Tragedy that Changed History: One Boy's Search for Truth and Reckoning Amidst the Gathering Storm of World War IIOn an unusually warm November 7, 1938, in Paris, a teenage, undocumented Jewish immigrant named Herschel Grynszpan walked into the German Embassy and into history. His act, targeting attache Ernst vom Rath as a symbolic strike against the Nazi regime, was seized upon by the Nazis as a pretext for Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass," a pivotal event foreshadowing the Holocaust.

Herschel's story echoes a world lost, yet its shadows still darken humanity. It's a story of a young man grappling with freedom and identity under the rising tide of Nazi oppression. From his youth, Herschel witnessed the insidious creep of anti-Semitic laws. He endured the sting of prejudice, the isolation, the casual cruelty. These experiences fuelled a burning desire within him to expose the world to the injustices he and his people faced.

But Herschel's story doesn't end with that fateful day in Paris. A greater challenge awaited him, one that would truly test his courage and ultimately define his heroism. His journey remains one of the most enigmatic and compelling mysteries of the Second World War.
