Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 attaché at the German Embassy, and… made history. The Nazis used the incident to whip up anti-Semitic sentiment, sparking Kristallnacht, that ultimately led 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.
