This content is protected I didn't know him til today but wow what a story. If you don't know him check out his wikipedia [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamo_Arouch[/url] or heres a article [url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/5258959/Salamo-Arouch.html[/url]
I didn't know Sholmo was still alive; thought the belated media blitz about him years ago was because he died back then! That guy could suck up pain and heartache like a sponge. :verysad He was exponentially a greater man than I could ever dream of being.
It's an amazing story but to talk of him as a boxer or a hero seems just preposterous to me. He was fighting normal people who were killed after the loss. It's not like he was fighting the Nazis.
