The Boxer's Story [electronic resource] : Fighting For My Life in the Nazi Camps

Shapow, Nathan2012

Summary

But the sound of jackboots marching across Europe and the systematic extermination of the Jews quickly put paid to his dreams. Soon he was to face a different sort of fight. The prize for victory? His life. Escaping certain death with a punch, surviving life on the ropes, Shapow saw his youth disappear in the terror of the Ghettos and the horror of the camps. Cheating almost certain death on a number of occasions, remarkably he survived to forge a new life in what was then British-controlled Palestine. He joined the Underground and quickly became involved in the struggle to create a Jewish state – and found love along the way. Extraordinary and powerful, The Boxer’s Story is a true tale that reads like fiction.
