	The strange story of Herschel Grynszpan von Michael R. Marrus aus "the American scholar"
		And we also know that Grynszpan was never tried for his offense, despite elaborate preparations that had been made, both by the French before the war and by top Nazi officials once the hapless defendant fell into their hands in 1940.
		Grynszpan was well treated, before his trial, for the Nazis wanted their victim to appear to the world in a healthy condition.
		Grynszpan probably died in a Nazi camp in the last phase of the war when hundreds of thousands of others were swept away by starvation, disease, maltreatment, and massacre.

		On 7 November Grynszpan went to the German Embassy, where he shot Ernst vom Rath, a junior diplomat, three times in the abdomen.
		A variant on this is that he mistook vom Rath for the German Ambassador, Graf Johannes Welczek.
		Vom Rath, Gide wrote, "had an exceptionally intimate relationship with the little Jew, his murderer." Later Gide said: "The idea that such a highly thought-of representative of the Third Reich sinned twice according to the laws of his country is rather amusing."

		Herschel refused to go that route; he maintained his principled stand that his was an act of protest against Nazi barbarism.
		Before Herschel's case came to trial in the French court, the Germans invaded, and he was evacuated from Paris with other French prisoners south to Vichy territory.
		Somehow Herschel had the smarts to figure out exactly what was going on, and the courage and resourcefulness to defy and defeat their strategy.

		She is notable as the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany (in 1934), and as the inspiration for Katharine Hepburn's character in the film Woman of the Year (1942).
		In 1938, Dorothy Thompson championed the cause of a Polish-German immigrant to France, Herschel Grynszpan, whose assassination of a minor German diplomat, Ernst vom Rath, had been used propagandistically by the Nazis to trigger the events of Kristallnacht in Germany.
		Thompson's broadcast on NBC radio was heard by millions of viewers, and lead to an outpouring of sympathy for the young assassin.

	The Forward Newspaper Online: The Boy Who Started a War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Many historians have speculated that the young Grynszpan had intended to shoot the ambassador, Count Johannes Welczek, but according to author Harlan Greene in his new novel, "The German Officer's Boy," the shooting was the accidental result of 17-year-old Grynszpan's affair with the 29-year-old German officer.
		A number of postwar sources have contended that Grynszpan survived only to resume his Paris residence after the war and to start a family, but one of Grynszpan's original lawyers reported that he was beheaded by the Germans after his transfer into their hands in 1940.
		All of Grynszpan's family survived the war except for an uncle who was murdered in Auschwitz, and Grynszpan's sister who died in Russia, where the family took refuge.

		He and Grynszpan - a "boy with a beautiful penetrative gaze" - met in Le Boeuf sur le Toit bar, a popular haunt for gay men in the autumn of 1938 and became intimate.
		Grynszpan, who was in his late teens, had been living illegally in Paris, and Prof Döscher states that 29-year-old Vom Rath agreed to use his influential position to secure official papers for his friend.
		Grynszpan was arrested and languished in jail in France until 1940, when he was handed over to the Nazis, who planned a show trial which would be used to justify the outbreak of the second world war.

	The assassination of Herschel Felber Grynszpan
		All contradictions: Grynszpan's travels, his illegal stay in France, the unusual protection of his parents' properties after their deportation across the borders of Poland, would all be cleared by an antithesis stating that the assassination in Paris was prepared by the SD.
		Part of a common legend about Grynszpan is the story that Grynszpan was freed in Bourges, walked to Toulouse and as he could not find any accommodation asked for admission to the jail.
		It is in no way a prove that Grynszpan's parents declared in Jerusalem during the Eichmann trial that their son had not survived and that they had never heard from him.

		Herschel Grynszpan murdered a German diplomat in Paris in 1938.
		As we know, Herschel Grynszpan was a Polish Jew who shot a relatively minor German bureaucrat named vom Rath in Paris on November 7, 1938.
		The vom Rath murder appears to have been Herschel's personal response to the plight of his parents, who were being whipsawed along with thousands of other Jews between Germany and Poland at a time when neither nation wanted them.

		Grynszpan's family, which had lived in Hanover since 1911, was among the 17,000 people who had been rounded up.
		Grynszpan, who in the end disappeared into the French penal system and from there — following the Nazi conquest — into oblivion, became a footnote to history, his moment of violent action less a cause of the destruction to follow than a coincidence.
		For Tippett, Herschel Grynszpan was the “Child of Our Time”, assuming the burden of all who suffer persecution, are made to be scapegoats and who fruitlessly attempt to combat the majoritarian juggernaut that tends inevitably toward intolerance.

	Persecution of the Jews
		In order to carry out their plans, the Nazi government used the actions of 17year old, Herschel Grynszpan as a spring by which to mount the riot and eventually the Holocaust.
		Grynszpan reacted this way because the Nazis expelled his family from Germany and imposed upon them brutal treatments.
		Grynszpan's reaction was interpreted by Goebbels as a conspirational attack by 'International Jewry' against the Reich and symbolically, against the Fuehrer.

		Herschel Grynszpan First, there is the "Grynszpan case." Weighing all the data, it can be affirmed, with highly probable certainty, that it was the LICA who induced him to murder vom Rath.
		There is a valid conjecture as to why Grynszpan refused to admit that during his police interrogations: the LICA had guaranteed him its (very potent) support -- on condition he remain silent.
		Grynszpan's initial heroic pose as "an avenger of the Jewish people" was transparently false.

		Zindel Grynszpan who had a family-owned business in Hanover since 1911, was removed from his home at gunpoint by Nazis, all his possession confiscated, and deported to the Polish border.

		The day the Holocaust began was November 7, 1938, when Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old Polish-German Jew, shot and killed Eduard vom Rath, an officer in the German embassy in Paris.
		It is an extremely valuable account of the story of Herschel Grynszpan, the expulsion of Polish Jews from Germany, the November 1938 pogrom (Crystal Night), and of Grynszpan's subsequent fate as a prisoner of the Nazis.
		The book describes, in considerable detail, Grynszpan's experiences in French and German hands and his trial which was to become Nazi Germany's justification of the Holocaust.

		Grynszpan proclaimed that he wanted `to avenge the great wrong which had been visited on his fellow Jews in general and on his family in particular.' What followed was the Kristallnacht, in which 265 synagogues were destroyed, 7,500 Jewish businesses looted, and 30,000 Jews sent to concentration camps--the first step in the Holocaust.
		Schwab became interested in the Grynszpan case and eventually met an embassy clerk who had been a key witness at Grynszpan's trial, as well as Grynszpan's defense lawyer.
		On November 7, 1938, Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year old Polish-German Jew, walked into the German Embassy in Paris and shot Third Secretary, Ernst vom Rath who died shortly after.

	Feuerzeichen (review)
		Herschel Grynszpan, whose parents were transported to the Polish border as a result of the passport crisis, went to the German embassy in Paris and shot a German official, Ernst vom Rath, on 7 November, 1938.
		Grynszpan was arrested by the Parisian police but, strangely, survived the war after postponements of trials.
		Actually, there is no absolute certainty as to the responsibility for the "Reichskristallnacht." She argues effectively that there can be little doubt about the complicity of the LICA in the murder of vom Rath and points out the enigmatic survival of the young Jew who murdered him.
