« If it is a man» (questo è an uomo) an autobiographic evidence of Primo Levi on its survival in the concentration camp of Auschwitz is, where it is kept of February, 1944 at the liberation of the camp, on January 27th, 1945. Italian Jewish chemist, affiliated to movement «giustizia e Libertà», he is stopped(arrested) as Resistance fighter and deported in Auschwitz because of Nazi racial politics(policy). Having survived the process of selection, he is transferred to the auxiliary camp of Monowitz-Buna and allocated to the kommando of chemistry, loaded(in charge of) producing a rubber ersatz to support the German war effort.
If it is a man? We are entitled to ask ourselves question: what makes that a man is not any more one? Another question is also composed to us across the evidence of Primo Levi: what urges a man to resist?

About the location

Fort de Metz-Queuleu

Allée Jean Burger, 57070 Metz

Moselle
Grand Est

The Fort of Queuleu belongs to the first belt strengthened by Metz. Building work, begun by the French people during the Second Empire between 1867 and 1868, was resumed(taken back) to a great extent by the Germans during Annexation. Between October, 1943 and August, 1944, a special camp managed by Gestapo is installed(settled) in the Caserne II, Blockhouse A. The camp sees the internment of Resistance fighters, saboteurs, boatmen, objectors and hostages. The conditions of internment are terrible: prisoners are questioned under torture and parked eyes bandaged with bound(connected) feet and hands. Thirty-six people will succumb to it and four people will manage to get away. Between 1500 in 1800 prisoners will be committed there before being sent to concentration camps, to prison or sentenced to death. In the Libération, a centre of watched stay is established there between December, 1944 and March, 1946\.
