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. 546 Translated from the German. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Haft, Harry, |d1925-2007 |vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Boxers (Sports) |zPoland |vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zPoland |vComic books, strips, etc. 600 17 Haft, Harry, |d1925- |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01632733 650 7 Boxers (Sports) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00837275 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 651 7 Poland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206891 655 7 Comics (Graphic works) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01921613 655 7 Biographical comics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01921595 655 7 Comic books, strips, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423722 655 7 Graphic novels. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726630 655 7 Fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Comics (Graphic works) |2lcgft 710 2 Small Press Expo Collection (Library of Congress) |5DLC 938 Brodart |bBROD |n106767119 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nBK0013828803 938 Coutts Information Services |bCOUT |n26218180 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n11156771 994 C0 |bLHM 852 0 |bstacks |hPN6790.P6 |iK54 2014
