Reinhardt Kleist's graphic novel, The Boxer: The True Story of Hertzko Haft (Kleist, 2019), and the biography on which it is based (Alan Scott Haft, Harry Haft: Auschwitz survivor, challenger of Rocky Marciano, 2006), unfolds the story of Hertzko (later called Harry) Haft during the Holocaust and afterward. It is characterized by the use of extreme violence as means as survival in the camps and later, as a struggling young immigrant in the United States. Alan Scott Haft, following his father's testimony in a two-day marathon recording (in 2003), wrote Hertzko/Harry's biography. During the intense confessional session the son was exposed to his father's difficult and complex relationships with his family in Belchatow (Poland), with his fellow inmates, and the Nazi officers. The heroic Darwinist fight for survival places Hertzko/Harry as a morally ambiguous figure who challenges readers' empathy. The graphic artist’s adaptation enables a visual presentation of the protagonist's complexity, which differs from the classic image of a Holocaust survivor. Harry/Hertzko is portrayed against the background of a world with no absolute and unequivocal distinction between the good victims and the evil perpetrators, but a moral realm composed of many shades of gray.
