They say the personal is political, and it’s hard to find a story that represents that saying more than the story of Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old Jewish teenager, who found himself in the middle of a historical event on a Biblical scale - Kristallnacht - the event that would kick off the Holocaust. The Germans, by the way, claim that our little Hershel started World War II itself. This documentary presents the full story of this mysterious assassin for the first time, and rolls up one of the thrilling and often forgotten stories that form the greater story of the Holocaust, experienced by European Jews.
