We have so many sheroes and heroes to look to for inspiration, and they are way cooler than the oppressors, tyrants, and jerks that some fools are following these days. Racism, fascism, and oppression shouldn’t fill us with guilt and paralysis but should put a fire in our belly. We have lots of examples of resistance, solidarity, and allyship to follow. Primo Levi is just one of these examples. Arrested for his antifascist work and deported to Auschwitz in 1944, Levi was a prolific writer who tried to make sense of the inhumanity he had endured, to warn us that it could happen again, and to try to envision a better way.
