Located in Upper Austria, the Mauthausen Concentration Camp was one of the largest labor camp complexes in the Third Reich. Between 1938 and 1945, the Mauthausen concentration camp and its 40 sub-camps were the main site of political, social and racist persecution by the National Socialist Regime. People from across Europe were deported to Mauthausen and its interconnecting camps – facing most brutal conditions and highest mortality rate. During the seven years about 200.000 people were imprisoned; at least half of them were murdered.

Upon arrival, explore with audio guides the preserved historic premises of the Mauthausen Memorial. See the Wiener-Graben quarry, the „Stairway of Death“, the SS-Quarters, the Camp Prison as well as the Gas Chamber. Visit the Mauthausen Museum with its changing exhibitions as well as the „Room of names“.

A trip to Mauthausen means public awareness of history, a memorial site of its victim and responsibility of the perpetrators. It is also a significant memorial for the present and future generations.
