Description
The Boxer: A Graphic Biography of Holocaust Survivor Harry Haft Reinhard Kleist's powerful graphic biography reveals the true story of Harry Haft, a young man who showed extraordinary strength and courage in the face of unimaginable adversity. Haft was sent to Auschwitz in 1941, where he was forced to fight against other inmates for the amusement of the SS officers. Despite the horrors he endured, Haft made a daring escape from the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced in April 1945. After immigrating to the United States, Haft established himself as a professional prizefighter, remaining undefeated until he faced heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano in 1949. However, this was not just a story of triumph and success - it was also one of love and loss. Haft's experiences during the war left him with deep emotional scars, and he struggled to come to terms with his past. This graphic biography is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most extreme adversity. It is a moving and powerful story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
