The Berlin Boxing Club

Karl, a fourteen-year-old from a secular Jewish family, learns to use his fists to defend himself against thugs and bullies who are encouraged by Hitler's increasingly harsh anti-Semetic laws. Although having boxing superstar Max Schmelling as a part-time coach helps Karl break into the world of amateur boxing, it's not enough to shield his family from the horrific events of Kristallnacht.

 

A gritty and exciting story set in a world gone mad.
