About Nakam: The Jewish Avengers Who Plotted To Kill 6 Million Germans
For most, World War 2 ended in 1945. For the "Nakam," the war was just beginning. Led by partisan leader Abba Kovner, this group of Holocaust survivors sought a biblical "eye for an eye" justice, plotting to kill six million Germans by poisoning city water supplies. From the secret execution squads of the Jewish Brigade to the poisoning of SS prisoners in Nuremberg and the Mossad’s hunt for the "Hangman of Riga," this documentary uncovers the dark, complex, and controversial history of the Jewish Avengers who refused to let Nazi crimes go unpunished.
