The Jewish boy, Herschel Grynszpan, his family and over thousands of other Jews had been ousted from Germany without fair warning and were transported against their will to be deserted at the Polish border, on October 27, 1938. The Germans were outraged following the shooting in Paris and used this as ammunition to rise in blood-splattered revenge against the Jews.
