Ernst Eduard vom Rath was a German diplomat. He is mainly remembered for his assassination in Paris in 1938 by a Polish Jewish teenager, Herschel Grynszpan, which was used as a pretext for Kristallnacht, "The Night of Broken Glass" on 9-10 November 1938. Historians consider Kristallnacht the beginning of the Holocaust.
