A classic of Holocaust literature from the camps' oldest known survivor. Boris Pahor spent the last fourteen months of World War II as a prisoner and medic in the Nazi camps at Ber gen-Belsen, Harzungen, Dachau. Twenty years later, as he visited the preserved remains of a camp, his experiences came back to him: the emaciated prisoners, the ragged, zebra-striped uniforms, the infirmary reeking of dysentery and death.Necropolis is Pahor's stirring account of providing medical aid to prisoners in the face of the utter brutality of the camps - and coming to terms with the guilt of surviving when millions did not. It is a classic account of the Holocaust and a powerful act of remembrance. Show more
