Boris Pahor
Boris Pahor, OMRI (; 26 August 1913 – 30 May 2022) was a Slovene novelist from Trieste, Italy, who was best known for his heartfelt descriptions of life as a member of the Slovenian minority in pre–Second World War increasingly fascist Italy as well as a Nazi concentration camp survivor. In his novel ''Necropolis'' he visits the Natzweiler-Struthof camp twenty years after his relocation to Dachau. Following Dachau, he was relocated three more times: to Mittelbau-Dora, to Harzungen, and finally to Bergen-Belsen, which was liberated on 15 April 1945.

His autobiographical novel ''Nekropola'', published in 1967, was first translated into English (in 1995) as ''Pilgrim Among the Shadows'', and secondly (in 2010) as ''Necropolis''. The novel h ...
