(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 26 - Today is the birth anniversary of writer Boris Pahor, who died in 2022 at the age of 108. Pahor, a Slovenian-language writer and intellectual, was born in Trieste on August 26, 1913. He is regarded as the most important Slovenian writer with Italian citizenship. Having witnessed all of the horrors of the twentieth century, he was one of the most important voices on the tragedy of deportation to Nazi concentration camps, as recounted in Necropolis, as well as discrimination against the Slovenian minority in Trieste under the Fascist regime. He experienced those horrors firsthand, as documented in his thirty books, which have been translated into dozens of languages and include "Speaking Here Is Forbidden," "The Fire in the Port," and "The Villa on the Lake." Today, on the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War II, the Danilo Dolci Peace and Coexistence Committee and the Italo-Slovenian Centre of Trieste laid flowers at Pahor's grave in the Sant'Anna cemetery.
