Arouch’s undefeated boxing record (1937-1955) ended on June 8, 1955, when he was knocked out in 4 rounds by Italy’s Amleto Falcinelli in Tel Aviv.

Arouch was a consultant on the 1989 dramatic reenactment of his early life,accompanying filmmakers several times on an emotional return to the concentration camp. The film takes some artistic liberties with the biographical details of his life, including the renaming of his wife and placing her in his story prior to internment.

After the movie came out, another Jewish boxer from Salonika, Jacques “Jacko” Razon sued Arouch and the filmmakers for more than $20 million claiming that they had stolen his story and that Arouch had exaggerated his exploits.

In 1943, Arouch and his family was interned in the concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.In Auschwitz, where Arouch was tagged prisoner 136954, he said the commander sought boxers among the newly interned and, once assured of Arouch’s abilities, set him to twice- or thrice-weekly boxing matches against other prisoners.

According to Arouch, he was undefeated at Auschwitz, though two matches he was forced to fight while recovering from dysentery ended in draws.Lodged with the other fighters forced to participate in these matches and paid in extra food or lighter work, Salamo fought 208 matches at his estimation,knowing that prisoners who lost would be sent to the gas chamber or shot.Fights generally lasted until one fighter went down or the Nazis got tired of watching.Arouch claimed he weighed about 135 pounds and often fought much larger men.

The role of Arouch was played by American actor Willem Dafoe. The stakes were high: those who won their fights lived to fight again while those who lost were generally consigned to the gas chambers. As a boxer, he was forced to fight for the entertainment of the German officers who ran the notorious camp. After compiling an undefeated record of 24 wins (24 knockouts),Arouch joined the Greek Army.
