Nakam

"Nakam" recounts the true story of a group of Holocaust survivors known as "the Avengers," who, driven by a desire for revenge, plotted to inflict harm on Germany in response to the atrocities they endured. Led by poet and resistance fighter Abba Kovner, these young men and women devised plans involving poisoning supplies to German prisoners of war, aiming to kill six million Germans—though their plots were ultimately foiled. Through archival research and interviews, historian Dina Porat explores the formation of this group and the complex motivations behind their extreme actions, shedding light on a deeply conflicted chapter of history.
