Beschrijving
Nakam (Hebrew for "vengeance") tells the story of "the Avengers" (Nokmim), a group of young Holocaust survivors led by poet and resistance fighter Abba Kovner, who undertook a mission of revenge against Germany following the crimes of the Holocaust. These fifty young men and women sought retaliation and would have poisoned city water supplies and loaves of bread distributed to German POWs, with the aim of killing six million Germans.
