Victor Young Perez

Victor Perez, a Jewish boxer, achieved the title of world flyweight champion in 1931 and 1932. However, his life took a tragic turn when he was deported to Auschwitz concentration camp following the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1943. In the camp, he was subjected to forced labor and coerced into brutal boxing matches for the entertainment of the Nazi guards. “Surviving Auschwitz” recounts Victor’s remarkable, heart-wrenching, and profoundly moving true story.
