Boris Pahor (born the August 28, 1913 in Trieste) is a Slovenian writer.
After grammar school he visited a Roman Catholic priests' seminary at Capodistria (today Koper in Slovenia). In 1920 he witnessed fascists in Triest burning down the Slovenian cultural association ("Narodni dom", literally people's house). After the control of the region fell to Nazi control in 1944, he went to the people's liberation army of Yugoslavia. He spent the last year of World War II in Nazi concentration camps in France and Germany (Natzweiler-Struthof, Dachau and Bergen-Belsen).
Pahor's best-known work is Nekropolis, a novel remembering his time at Natzweiler-Struthof. His other works include Pilgrim among the Shadows, and a trilogy about Triest and the Slovenian minority in Italy, which has been translated into French and German.
