Campo di Fossoli was a deportation camp in Italy during World War II, located in the village Fossoli, Carpi. It began as a prisoner of war camp, later being a Jewish concentration camp, then a police and transit camp, and finally a labour collection centre for Germany. 2844 Jews passed through this camp, 2802 having been then deported.

History
May 1942 - 8 September 1943: Prisoner of War camp (PG 73)
Established by the Royal Italian Army for the British, South African and New Zealand military personnel captured in military operations in North Africa.
5 December 1943 - 15 March 1944: Jewish concentration camp for the Italian Social Republic
In accordance with the dictates of the Charter of Verona and the Order of Police n. 5, the camp started its internment of Jews. Since January 1944 political opponents of the fascist government also began to be interned. It was during this period that the first two trains left for Auschwitz (on 19 and 22 February 1944). The second convoy left with 650 other prisoners (which Primo Levi recalls in the first pages of the famous book If This is a Man).
