Slava mu/glory to him. The man who saw to much for this world… And remained such human. He used to say: “Read my books instead of making pictures of me”.
Ta boljši Pahor/The Cooler Pahor
He was drafted into Italian army in 1940 and fought in libya. In 1943 he escaped the army when returning to Triest and joined the Slovene partisans.
In 1944 he was captured by the Germans and sent to the concentration camp, where he was moved several times and ended up in bergen-belsen. He survived the imprisonment in the camp with ~50% mortality rate, and was rescued by the Allies on April 15th 1945.
After the war he made several works criticizing the Yugoslav regime, including the first open condemnation of the killings of Istrian Italians.
He was nominated for Nobel prize several times, but unfortunately never recieved it.
At the time of his death in 2022, he was the oldest holocaust survivor in the world and the oldest living Yugoslav partisan.
