Abstract:
Recounts the assassination of Ernst vom Rath, third secretary at the German Embassy in Paris, by Herschel Grynszpan and gives details (based on archival material) of preparations for a trial in Paris, which never took place. This assassination preceded the "Kristallnacht" pogrom and was used by Nazi propaganda as a pretext for the pogroms. Surveys anti-Jewish legislation in Germany from 1933, and describes the expulsion of Polish Jews in October 1938, among them the family of Herschel Grynszpan. He himself explained the murder as an act of vengeance for his family's fate.
Note:
With German and French summaries.
