Editing Primo Levi (section)

=== Italian resistance movement ===
The [[Italian resistance movement]] became increasingly active in the German-occupied zone. Levi and some comrades took to the foothills of the Alps and, in October, formed a partisan group in the hope of being affiliated with the liberal ''[[Giustizia e Libertà]]''. Untrained for such a venture, he and his companions were arrested by the [[Blackshirts|Fascist militia]] on 13 December 1943. Believing he would be shot as an [[Italian partisans|Italian partisan]], Levi confessed to being Jewish. He was sent to the [[Fossoli di Carpi|internment camp at Fossoli]] near [[Modena]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Levi |first=Primo |title=Survival in Auschwitz |publisher=Touchstone |year=1958 |isbn=0-684-82680-1 |location=New York |pages=13–14 |translator-last=Woolf |translator-first=Stuart}}</ref><!--this paragraph needs some sources - as it stands it's a translation from the Italian Wikipedia article-->

Levi later wrote the following about the conditions at Fossoli:
{{blockquote|We were given, on a regular basis, a food ration destined for the soldiers and at the end of January 1944, we were taken to Fossoli on a passenger train. Our conditions in the camp were quite good. There was no talk of executions and the atmosphere was quite calm. We were allowed to keep the money we had brought with us and to receive money from the outside. We worked in the kitchen in turn and performed other services in the camp. We even prepared a dining room, a rather sparse one, I must admit.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rapoport |first=Meron |date=3 October 2007 |title=Scholar Unearths Previously Unknown Primo Levi Text at Yad Vashem |url=https://www.haaretz.com/2007-10-03/ty-article/scholar-unearths-previously-unknown-primo-levi-text-at-yad-vashem/0000017f-e101-d9aa-afff-f959e4e00000 |access-date=20 May 2024 |work=[[Haaretz]]|archive-url= https://archive.today/20240521020132/https://www.haaretz.com/2007-10-03/ty-article/scholar-unearths-previously-unknown-primo-levi-text-at-yad-vashem/0000017f-e101-d9aa-afff-f959e4e00000#selection-519.0-519.65 |archive-date=21 May 2024 |url-status=live}}</ref>}}
