Description
G tz 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 G tz and Meyer, a Jewish school teacher, discovers Wilhelm G tz 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 G tz and Meyer s truck, and the teacher and his students merge with Belgrade s lost souls in a sacred act of remembering.
