Publisher Description:

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.
