7/10
This movie gives you a glimpse of Auschwitz during its early days.
6 December 2023
This movie is also known under the name "The Champion of Auschwitz". It shows Auschwitz camp life through the true experiences of a gifted boxer whom is prisoner of the camp. Because of a lack of entertainment for the guards and SS soldiers, camp officers decide to organize boxing matches, whereby this gifted boxer is made the main attraction.

What makes this movie special, is that it shows the beginnings of the Auschwitz "main camp", whereby prisoners were still living in brick buildings and Birkenau didn't exist yet. Having only 1 crematorium, it also still made use of burning pits.

This movie has pretty impressive scenes, which show the evil behavior of the Nazi guards and officers.

I score this movie with a 7.2, resulting in 7 IMDb stars.
