Why people recommend it

Nakam by Dina Porat is a historical account detailing the post-World War II Jewish vengeance movement against Germans. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans discussed the book during a two-part series titled A Tale of Revenge in December 2022. Evans referenced the volume multiple times throughout the episodes to illustrate the grim realities of the Holocaust's aftermath. He read passages describing the Vilna ghetto reduced to ashes and bones, noting how visitors returned stunned by the blunt reality of wide-scale slaughter into massive round pits. Furthermore, Evans cited the text to provide historical accounts of Zionist youth seeking vengeance in Germany and to describe post-war violence directed against returning Jewish survivors. Earlier in the series, Evans also mentioned a Stanford biography of Abba Kovner to describe the background of his parents. Through these readings and discussions, Evans utilized Dina Porat's research to ground his narrative of vengeance and post-war retribution in documented historical facts, bringing stark visibility to the immense devastation left in the wake of Nazi atrocities.
