World War II was the time. Auschwitz was the place. Survival was the prize. Boxer Salamo Arouch (Dafoe) is interned in the Nazi death campwith his family and friends. For the amusement of his captors, Salamo is forced to fight his fellowinmates brutal contests that send the loser to the gas showers. Salamo's prowess in the ring is both his salvation and his nightmare, as his "victories" condemn others to death. Still he fights on, hoping he might somehow save his father his friends perhaps even his soul. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Another war story benefiting from the popularity of boxing at the time, which did not diminish even under the toughest conditions. This time we follow the fate of the Greek middleweight champion Salamo Arouch. Among a number of other similar films, I can also recommend the comic novel by Reinhard Kleist "The Boxer: The True Story of Holocaust Survivor Harry Haft."

A powerful film about how boxers fared when they were sent to a concentration camp during World War II. It beautifully showcases the power of the Nazis, as they found a way to entertain themselves, forcing people to fight for their lives in a different way. Willem Dafoe demonstrates his acting mastery here.
