In November 1938, Hershel Grynszpan, a dissident Polish Jew, assassinated the third secretary of the German embassy in Paris, Ernst vom Rath. The Nazis used this event to instigate a huge pogrom, the Reichskristallnacht or Crystal Night Pogrom, resulting in the destruction of synagogues, breaking of windows of Jewish shops (hence the name of the pogrom), arrest and confinement of thousands of Jews in concentration camps, as well as the levy of a fine of one billion marks upon the Jewish community. A discussion of the event by Nazi leaders under the chairmanship of Marshal Hermann Goering began to outline some of the major features of the "Final Solution." Included is documentation on foreign reaction to the pogrom and plans for a show trial of Hershel Grynszpan.
