This paper studies the formation of the Jewish Brigade, a military formation under the command of the British Army in World War II since November 1944. The Brigade was composed exclusively by Jewish militaries from Palestine and took a part in the occupation of Italy. Also, members of the Brigade acted in the rescue of Jewish survivors in Europe, sending them secretly to Palestine. At the end of the war groups of avengers were formed inside the Jewish Brigade, with the aim to find and execute Nazis guilty for war crimes. The existence of the Jewish Brigade and the fact that some of its members had participated in avengers groups have similarities with the movie “Inglorious Basterds”, from the director Quentin Tarantino. The movie does not relate a historical truth, but there was a group of real “inglorious basterds”, jews that fought for their dignity, searching for vengeance.
