Boris Pahor spent the last fourteen months of World War II as a
prisoner and medic in the Nazi camps at Belsen, Harzungen, Dachau,
and Natzweiler. His fellow prisoners comprised a veritable
microcosm of Europe Italians, French, Russians, Dutch, Poles,
Germans. Twenty years later, when he visits a camp in the Vosges
Mountains that has been preserved as a historical monument, images
of his experiences come back to him: corpses being carried to the
ovens; emaciated prisoners in wooden clogs and ragged,
zebra-striped uniforms, struggling up the steps of a quarry or
standing at roll call in the cold rain; the infirmary, reeking of
dysentery and death. Necropolis is Pahor s stirring account of his
attempts to provide medical aid to prisoners in the face of the
utter brutality of the camps and of his coming to terms with the
ineradicable guilt he feels, having survived when millions did not.
