Ernest Toussaint (March 6, 1908 – September 3, 1942) was a Luxembourgian boxer who competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics. In 1936, he defeated Karl Lutz of Austria in the round of 32 before being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the heavyweight class by eventual bronze medalist Erling Nilsen of Norway. He was shot in the concentration camp in Hinzert (Germany) after being arrested as one of the leaders in the general strike against the Nazi occupation in Luxembourg on 31 August 1942. The country had been protesting against the introduction of compulsory military service for young Luxembourgers in the German army. Toussaint's widow and his two sons were deported. ==External links== * (profile ) * () * (Ernest Toussaint's profile at Sports Reference.com ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ernest Toussaint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
