Directed by Academy Award-winner Barry Levinson and based on a true story, The Survivor stars award-winning actor Ben Foster as Harry Haft, who, after being sent to Auschwitz, survives not only the unspeakable horrors of the camp, but the gladiatorial boxing spectacle he is forced to perform with his fellow prisoners for the amusement of his captors. Unbeknownst to those who try to destroy him, Haft’s will to survive is driven by his quest to reunite with the woman he loves.
Guest Speaker: Alan Haft, the Fairhope-based author of “Harry Haft: Survivor of Auschwitz, Challenger of Rocky Marciano” and son of Harry Haft.
