Stefan Zweig, born in Vienna in 1881, lived the war environment personally and always showed an anti-war attitude in his works. Zweig's only desire is to capture people peace and peace after the war. From 1938 to 1942, his last work, "Satranç", which he received during his exile in Brazil, is also of great importance in terms of the values he wanted to show. By descending into the depths of the human soul, Zweig tries to reflect the social and psychological effects of Nazism/Nazi Germany on the country and the people, by illustrations and comparisons. At the point where the war brought humanity, in this work which has the character of a letter of goodbye that the writer left before his suicide, it is noted that Hitler's power uses another method for the light, except for the gathering camps. According to Zweig, this method used is a harder misconduct than people in the gathering camps. Stefan Zweig, who has an important place in German literature, in his work "Satranç" translates the processes of persons trying to stand up / exist during the war, despite all the negatives that have been experienced through the game of the satranç. In the autobiographical characteristic of the work, a character who was arrested by the Nazis during the war after being convicted of innocence, a character who was the world champion of chess is discussed in the chess struggle. While the cruelty of the twentieth century is seen, it is possible to witness closely the traces that historical events leave and what it means to try to live with those traces. In this study, the work of the National Socialism (National Socialism) has been prompted to translate the traces, destruction, and the period of National Socialism which the National Socialism has left in society and on people.

Born in Vienna in 1881, Stefan Zweig personally experienced the war environment and always displayed a pacifist attitude in his works. Zweig's only wish for people is to find peace and tranquillity after the war. His last work called “The Royal Game”, which he wrote while he was in exile in Brazil between 1938-1942, is also of great importance in terms of the values he wants to show. Because of his intention to touch the human soul, Zweig tries to reflect the social and psychological effects of Nazism/ Nazi Germany in the country and people with descriptions and metaphors. In his work, which is a farewell letter left by the author before his suicide, at the point where war and war brought humanity, attention is drawn to another method used by the Hitler government for intellectuals apart from the concentration camps. According to Zweig, this method used is perhaps even more severe cruelty than the people in the concentration camps. Stefan Zweig, who has got an important place in the German Literature, conveys the survival/ trying to exist processes of individuals during the war despite all the negativities experienced through the game of chess in his work named The Royal Game. The chess struggle of a character who is a world chess champion with a character chosen is discussed. While revealing the brutality of the 20th century, it is possible to witness closely the traces left by historical events and what it means to try to live with those traces. In this study, it has been tried to convey the traces of National Socialism on society and people, and the destruction it created, based on the work.
