The Fossoli camp (Italian: Campo di Fossoli) was a concentration camp in Italy, established during World War II and located in the village of Fossoli, Carpi, Emilia-Romagna. It began as a prisoner of war camp in 1942, later being a Jewish concentration camp, then a police and transit camp, a labour collection centre for Germany and, finally, a refugee camp before closing in 1970.
It is estimated that 2,844 Jews passed through this camp, 2,802 of whom were then deported.
