Alan Scott Haft provides the first-hand testimony of his father, Harry Haft, a holocaust victim with a singular story of endurance, desperation, and unrequited love. Harry Haft was a sixteen-year-old Polish Jew when he entered a concentration camp in 1944. Forced to fight other Jews in bare-knuckle bouts for the perverse entertainment of SS officers, Harry quickly learned that his own survival depended on his ability to fight and win. Haft details the inhumanity of the "sport" in which he must perform in brutal contests for the officers. Ultimately escaping the camp, Haft's experience left him an embittered and pugnacious young man.

Determined to find freedom, Haft traveled to America and began a career as a professional boxer, quickly finding success using his sharp instincts and fierce confidence. In a historic battle, Haft fights in a match with Rocky Marciano, the future undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. Haft's boxing career takes him into the world of such boxing legends as Rocky Graziano, Roland La Starza, and Artie Levine, and he reveals new details about the rampant corruption at all levels of the sport.

In sharp contrast to Elie Wiesel's scholarly, pious protagonist in Night, Harry Haft is an embattled survivor, challenging the reader's capacity to understand suffering and find compassion for an antihero whose will to survive threatens his own humanity. Haft's account, at once dispassionate and deeply absorbing, is an extraordinary story and an invaluable contribution to Holocaust literature.

All I use…from NB to 5!
Have used this brand for years, for many children, in sizes from NB to 5! Have used other “natural/organic” brands, but come back to these. They are softer than 7th Gen and more absorbent. Also more absorbent than Honest Co. Earth’s Best also had great diapers, but are no longer available. I like that Babyganics has added the “wetness detector strip,” as it makes it handy for quick checks. The price is middle of the road, as far as natural/organic/chlorine free diapers go. The NB option is wonderful, as other brands (like Bambo Nature and Eco by Naty) start at 1s, which are too big for newborns.

Great ingredients, flawed product
I’ve been using these because they are TCF (total chlorine free) but unfortunately the tabs are hard to open on the side and tend to rip off easily…wasting a new, clean diaper. i’m contemplating switching brands :(

These are very cheaply made and barely stay on. The clasp to keep the diapers closed breaks half of the time when I'm trying to put a fresh diaper on. Won't be buying these again.

Works Well
These diapers fit well right now, but like any diaper, we will be watching the weight of the baby and move up a size as the weight limit gets close, as that affects the amount of leakage that can occur. They are thin and easy to fit in a small diaper bag that goes anywhere, yet they are also absorbent. The designs are cute, and I like that it has a wetness indicator on the outside. They are absorbent for a few hours, but I wouldn't trust them for more than 4 hours because they are thin; however, that's the negative of any thinner diaper on the market, at least that's what I've found. The baby doesn't suffer from any irritation on his sensitive skin, which is also a big plus and is a necessity, as far as I'm concerned.

I've used babyganics for two children and will never buy again
I've used babyganics diapers for years and have always loved them. They used to be soft, incredibly absorbent and with a minimalist design that didn't show through light colored baby clothes. They were the diapers I recommended to everyone as a cloth diaper alternative and I was willing to pay the extra $ for them. What happened?!?! These have a brightly colored yet faded appearing design on them, they are rough and they constantly leak (like EVERY time). They are also small! I sized up one as I always used to do with babyganics but these size 2 diapers for 12-18 lb babies barely fit my 10 lb baby. I switched to Millie Moon diapers and find them a million times better. They're everything babyganics used to be.
