Join Chief Historian of Yad Vashem Dina Porat and New York Times team member Ronen Bergman, both best-selling authors, for a conversation on the ethics of revenge, the global rise of antisemitism, the continued search for justice in the aftermath of the Holocaust — and Porat’s fascinating new book, Nakam, the Holocaust Survivors who sought Full-Scale Revenge (Stanford UP, winner of the Bahat prize). Following the true story of a group of young Holocaust survivors who plotted mass retaliation against Germany after the Holocaust — with the goal of poisoning city water supplies in order to kill six million German citizens — Nakam is at once a chilling history and an urgent ethical document for the present. What is the line between justice and vengeance? Who gets to draw that line? Hear Porat and Bergman — whose bestselling Rise and Kill First expertly documents the history of Israel’s secret units targeting and pre-striking potential threats — discuss how the story of the avengers came to light, what it can tell us about Israel and the Jewish diaspora today, and how the Holocaust’s legacy of trauma continues to resonate through our time.
