Mauthausen Memorial Site
History
From 1938 to 1945, the Mauthausen concentration camp, together with the Gusen concentration camp and over 40 satellite camps, served as the central site of political, social, and racial persecution by the Nazi regime on Austrian soil. Of the approximately 190,000 people imprisoned here, about 90,000 were murdered.
The Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial is today an international site of remembrance and historical and political education. In addition to the preserved historic buildings and facilities, the Wiener Graben quarry with the “Stairway of Death,” and the International Memorial Park, visitors can explore two permanent exhibitions as well as the “Hall of Names” memorial room.Through its numerous preserved buildings and facilities, as well as the quarry, the memorial conveys the horrific history of the Mauthausen concentration camp.The permanent exhibition in the former infirmary offers a fact-based and scientifically sound presentation of the Nazi concentration camp system, as well as the Mauthausen concentration camp and its satellite camps.
Guided introductory tours for individual visitors are available.
