500 "This graphic novel is based on the book Harry Haft :
Auschwitz Survivor, Challenger of Rocky Marciano by Alan
Scott Haft, published by Syracuse University Press (2006)"
--Title page verso.
520 Poland, 1941. Sixteen-year-old Harry Haft is sent to
Auschwitz. When he is forced to fight against other
inmates for the amusement of the SS officers, Haft shows
extraordinary strength and courage, and a determination to
survive. As the Soviet Army advances in April 1945, he
makes a daring escape from the Nazis. After negotiating
the turmoil of postwar Poland, Haft emigrates to the
United States and establishes himself as a professional
prizefighter, remaining undefeated until he faces
heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano in 1949. In The Boxer,
Reinhard Kleist reveals another side to the steely Harry
Haft : a man struggling to escape the memories of the
fiancée he left behind in Poland. This is a powerful and
moving graphic novel about love and the will to survive.
