Description

What truly happened that morning in November 1938, once the small Polish Jew walked in to the German embassy in Paris and shots rang out? The immediate result was tangible: Nazi Germany retaliated using the "Nights Broken Glass," thought to be the start of the Holocaust. Ignored and misplaced in the aftermath may be the arresting tale of Herschel Grynszpan, the bewildered teen-ager whose killing of Ernst vom Rath was utilized to warrant Kristallnacht. In this historical novel, award winning writer Harlan Greene will be the first publisher to consider the Polish Jew at his term.
