Reviews
Praise for Hitler's Pawn "It is a riveting tale. Mr. Koch--novelist, biographer of Andy Warhol, sometime teacher of creative writing at Princeton and Columbia--is not the first to tell it, but he tells it with notable verve . . . In a work of fact that reads like fiction, with a novelist's relish for incident and character, he brings his troubled, troubling protagonist to life." --Ian Brunskill, The Wall Street Journal "In Koch's new book, Hitler's Pawn , he tells Grynszpan's incredible life story, including how the young man sussed out the German's bizarre scheme and mounted his own private resistance to serving as their pawn." -- CrimeReads "Fascinating . . . An engrossing and well-researched effort that reveals the ultimate end of this overlooked but crucial episode." -- Booklist "A blink-of-the-eye episode in the history of the Third Reich sets the events of Kristallnacht in motion, anticipating the years of terror that followed . . . [ Hitler's Pawn ] will appeal to careful readers of modern European history." -- Kirkus Reviews "A powerful book about justice, outrage and the preservation of truth." --Colin Greenwood, The Spectator "Stephen Koch's gripping book tells the whole story of the 17-year-old boy, Herschel Grynszpan, who made history by being the first Jew to take up arms against the Nazi regime." --Christopher Hart, The Daily Mail , Book of the Week "This book reads like a thriller . . . It's written for both scholars of the Holocaust and for laypersons interested in this little-known chapter of Holocaust literature." --Carol Katz, New York Journal of Books "Anne Frank, Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi--these are the pivotal figures who will forever stand against the twentieth century's submission to Auschwitz. Yet history urges the inscription of still another indestructible touchstone: Herschel Grynszpan, the seventeen-year-old Polish Jew whose desperate assassination of a German official became the pretext for the fires of Kristallnacht, the ferocious pogrom that initiated the Holocaust. Stephen Koch's heart-stopping account reveals how, in the very pit of Nazi perfidy, this fragile yet steadfast young man devised the ingenious trap that outwitted Goebbels. In the light of Koch's scrupulous unearthings, we must now count the brief, tormented life of Herschel Grynszpan among the lasting necessary chronicles." --Cynthia Ozick, author of Critics, Monsters, Fanatics, and Other Literary Essays

Synopsis
A remarkable story of a forgotten seventeen-year-old Jew who was blamed by the Nazis for the anti-Semitic violence and terror known as the Kristallnacht , the pogrom still seen as an initiating event of the Holocaust After learning about Nazi persecution of his family, Herschel Grynszpan (pronounced Greenspan) bought a small handgun and on November 7, 1938, went to the German embassy and shot the first German diplomat he saw. When the man died two days later, Hitler and Goebbels made the shooting their pretext for the state-sponsored wave of antiSemitic terror known as Kristallnacht, still seen by many as an initiating event of the Holocaust. Overnight, Grynszpan, a bright but naive teenager, was front-page news and a pawn in a global power struggle.

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
