Description
Du 9 au 10 novembre 1938, les synagogues flambent de Munich à Rostock. L'un des pires pogroms de l'histoire allemande vient de commencer. Pour justifier cette explosion de violence, les nazis n'invoquent qu'un motif : l'attentat commis au coeur de Paris par un jeune juif polonais contre un diplomate du Reich. L'assassin a dix-sept ans, sa victime vingt-neuf. Pourquoi Herschel Grynszpan a-t-il tiré sur Ernst vom Rath ? Dès le lendemain de l'attentat, avant même que l'Allemagne ne déclenche ses représailles impitoyables, la question est sur toutes les lèvres. Coup d'éclat pour venger un peuple persécuté ? Coup d'envoi d'une offensive d'envergure ? Coup de tête tout personnel ? Coup monté par ceux auxquels profitera le crime ? L'Histoire, aujourd'hui, n'a toujours pas tranché. Que s'est-il passé à Paris le 7 novembre 1938 ? Qui a sonné l'hallali de la Nuit de cristal ? Remontant aux sources de chacune des thèses en concurrence, Corinne Chaponnière entraîne le lecteur dans une enquête vertigineuse sur l'un des épisodes les plus mystérieux de l'avant-guerre où la vengeance, la propagande, le sexe et la raison d'État se disputent férocement le fin mot de l'histoire.
