Did anybody ever give the Jews guns during ww2 after we took them from concentration camps?

Not that I know of, however, let me tell you the amazing and strange story of one Abba Kovner and his band of survivors called Nakam (also known as DIN or dam Yisrael noter or the blood of Israel avenges).

So, it's 1945 and Abba Kovner, a Yiddish poet and former Jewish partisan from Vilna, is living with a bunch of other former partisans. He survived the Vilna ghetto, fought in the ghetto uprising, and witnessed his entire family and nearly everyone in his community be sent to their deaths in Ponary, and understandably wants revenge. He gets together with his girlfriend and a bunch of other former partisans and forms a group called Nakam, which is the Hebrew word for "avengers". They design a rather harebrained scheme to poison the water supply of major German cities to get revenge for the Holocaust. To get the poison he needs, Abba Kovner goes to Tel Aviv, and meets with leaders of the Hagana and the pre-state Jewish community. They go, "uh no we're not giving you poison you nutcase" and so eventually Kovner is imprisoned for a few months by the British. So let's just say plan A didn't work. So instead, Abba Kovner and Nakam devise another plan and this time actually acquire some poison. They go to a prison which houses Nazi soldiers and reports vary on what happened next but there is evidence that at least a few dozen Nazis died after consuming poisoned bread.

Abba Kovner than gave up on his revenge fantasy, moved to Israel, fought in the War of Independence, married and settled down to become a poet.

Thank you for your time and goodnight
