The Champion of Auschwitz (Mistrz)

Survival in Auschwitz depends on prizefighting for the amusement of SS guards.

In 1940, the SS established Auschwitz, using starvation as a deliberate tool of extermination. Prisoners performing heavy labor received daily rations averaging only 1,300 calories, causing rapid physical decline. This systematic deprivation, combined with heavy manual labor, killed most inmates within three months of arrival.
