Gotz and Meyer（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Gotz and Meyer, two noncommissioned SS officers, are entrusted
with an assignment, “not a big one,” but one that “requires
efficiency.” Their task is to transport prisoners from a
concentration camp near Belgrade in a hermetically sealed truck, in
which they are asphyxiated. The nameless narrator of “Gotz and
Meyer,” a Jewish school-teacher, discovers Wilhelm Gotz and Erwin
Meyer while researching the deaths of his relatives. Overwhelmed by
the horror of his discoveries as they become entangled with his own
feverish imaginings, he organizes a class trip. The school bus
becomes Gotz and Meyer’s truck, and the teacher and his students
merge with Belgrade’s lost souls in a sacred act of
remembering.
