Hi, I´ve been looking for information about kovner´s six million germans killing plan. I read the whole history in various books but i can´t find anywhere the name of the poison he wanted to put in the water systems of the german cities. Any information will be appreciated.
I found an excerpt from a book by Stephen G. Fritz which indicates the information on Abba Kovner's plan was drawn from his oral testimony and that of some former associates with no other corroborating sources. Since the type of poison was not mentioned and, as the story goes, was thrown into the sea before his capture, it may not be possible to answer your question. Of course, I'm sure you are more knowledgeable on the topic than I, so perhaps I am missing something.
If I remember correctly from a tv documentary I saw, I think he managed to get hold of some Zyklon B.
Check out You Tube for History Channel's series on Nazi Hunters. Search for hte "Jewish Avenger" episode - It may be what Gordon was recalling - it has quite a bit about him.
I just watched the video. Doesn't mention what type of poison Kovner acquired. However, it does mention a follow up plot to poison about 2,300 former Nazis held as prisoners in Nuremburg by putting arsenic on bread from a bakery. The plot was foiled by an impressive stomach pumping marathon.
