Jakob Hoffmann in conversation with Jurij Devetak; translation: Barbara Anderlič

Slovenian author Boris Pahor survived five concentration camps during World War II. His globally renowned masterpiece, "Nekropolis," published in 1967, was adapted into a graphic novel by Jurij Devetak. The documentary approach and his skillful use of visual metaphors create poignant image sequences. The grim experiences are contrasted with the vitality of life, which the graphic novel also portrays. Despite all the hopelessness, it bears witness to humanity and solidarity in the face of despair.
