The immediate consequence was concrete: Nazis retaliated with Kristallnacht - 'Night of Broken Glass' - the beginning of the Holocaust. Lost in the aftermath is the story of Herschel Grynszpan, the confused teenager whose murder of Ernst vom Rath was used to justify Kristallnacht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In this historical novel, award-winning writer Harlan Greene takes Grynszpan at his word. Historians have tried to explain away the claim that he was involved in a love affair with vom Rath; Greene, instead, depicts the lives of the underprivileged and persecuted Grynszpan and the wealthy German diplomat vom Rath as they move inevitably toward their ill-fated affair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49743265136888,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":42.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780299208141-1.jpg?v=1783584825","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780299208141","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
