Abstract

The article focuses on the queer dimensions of Kristallnacht and the story of Herschel Grynszpan, whose possible romantic involvement with a German diplomat complicates conventional Holocaust narratives. It examines how his experiences reveal the intersection of sexuality, persecution, and historical memory, highlighting the ongoing erasure and demonization of LGBTQ lives.
