As a boy from a very poor neighborhood in Warsaw  he cant run away when Polish kids attack the Jews  because his legs are weak. So he learns to use his fists  his head and other weapons to defend himself and his brothers.  When the family moves to Paris in 1929  everyone finds work and life improves slowly. Moshe  now Maurice  is a leather worker and a young husband. At a Jewish sports club  he takes up boxing  and becomes an amateur flyweight. But the war comes to Paris  and by 1942  the French police round up foreign Jews and the Germans deport them by the hundreds every day. They send Maurice to the death camp at Auschwitz.  In the camp  SS officers sense Maurices strength. They command him to box against a dying prisoner. Now Maurice is faced with an impossible moral dilemma: kill the prisoner or be killed by the SS for refusing to obey them. Or will he find a way out?  Translated from French by award-winning author Jean-Jacques Greif  The Fighter isnt simply another book about the Holocaust. It is a book about a hero who discovers the death-defying power of his own humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45794222604341,"sku":"ByrdShop_158234891X","price":62.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781582348919.jpg?v=1784825187","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-fighter-9781582348919","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
