In Auschwitz only one sound sounded the same as in freedom. It was a thunderous applause following the winning match. Sportsmen, including world boxing legends, also ended up in German death camps. Like all prisoners, they were condemned to a slow death. However, some of them were able to find their sportsmanship again even in such extreme conditions. Like gladiators, they stood in the camp ring to wrestle—even with their tormentors. For the SS men, the bloody matches were just a diversion and short-term entertainment, but for them it was a fight for the dignity and honor of all prisoners. True sportsmen, loyal to the principles of fair play, have paid the ultimate price for this more than once. However, their bravery and courage inspired respect even among the camp executioners. IT'S A STORY OF HEROIC BOXERS, THE STRENGTH OF THE SPIRIT AND THE EXCEPTIONAL WILL TO FIGHT AND LIVE.
