Mauthausen

Mauthausen, one of the largest concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II, stands as a somber testament to the atrocities committed. Located outside the town of Mauthausen in Austria, this site witnessed the murder of at least 90,000 people and was the last camp to be liberated by the Allies. Today, the main camp serves as a museum, which opened in 1975. Visitors can explore the preserved structures and exhibits that offer a stark and detailed account of the camp’s history, providing a poignant and educational experience.
