Steven Berkoff tells the story of the dramatic events which led to the demise of Herschel Grynszpan and some say led to the Holocaust. This 17 year old Jew assassinated the Third Secretary at the German Embassy in Paris and it was front page news around the world. It led to Kristalnacht and Herschel was to achieve celebrity status, marriage proposals but also succeeded in attracting the attention of the world to the persecution of the jews by the Nazis
