According to Harry, he was getting ready in his dressing room when... Two men, well-dressed, came into the dressing room and told him that he had to lay down in the first round.
They came in, they showed him the guns.
He said they were little guns, but, you know, at the time they looked like cannons, you know, so...
He had lived, you know, the last six years teetering in life or death situations.
That's the irony.
Think of the irony of what he was asked to do.
He was asked to lay down to save his life.
In those 75 fights in the camp, he couldn't lay down to save his life.
He had to win, you know, he had to win to save his life.
Now it was the opposite way.
He had to lay down to save his life.
He saw a SWAT sticker on a book and he went out into the park to hide.
You always ask yourself, am I a bad child?
It's not fun to be five or six or seven and have to beg your father not to kill themselves, you know, with tears.
One of my memories is my father drinking a whole bottle of whiskey and telling me he was going to go out and kill his business partner.
I had to sleep with a bottle under my pillow in case he came back and wanted to hurt me.
Maybe I'm seven or eight years old, sleeping with a bottle under my pillow to protect myself from my father, who's gone crazy.
There were stories that survivors just couldn't tell.
My father wanted to release himself of the guilt of everything that he had to do to survive and how it might have affected him mentally.
Somebody once told me about my father that the Nazis may have not murdered his body, but they killed his soul.
