It’s not a theoretical work nor does it make an argument, but rather shows through one man’s experience what Fascism entails and what its consequences can be. For this reason the review will provide an overview of the events which Primo Levi experienced, and from these events we will then try to distil the meaning of Fascism and its implications, because the experiences and their meanings are not separated, they are tightly intertwined, understanding the main events and Levi’s insights into Fascism would enable us to conclude what such insight is based upon.
