The Boxer: The True Story of Holocaust Survivor Harry Haft

Poland, 1941. Sixteen-year-old hertzko haft is sent to Auschwitz. Separated from his family and his fiancé, he draws a will to survive from the thought of seeing them again. His ability to survive, though, comes from something else – a unique talent. When haft is forced to fight against other inmates for the amusement of the SS officers, he knows the price of a loss. But his extraordinary physicality and skill make haft a formidable boxer, and he manages to escape death. As the Soviet Army advances in April 1945, he manages to escape the Nazis as well.
