Mauthausen, Nazi concentration camp memorial in Mauthausen, Austria
The granite buildings and preserved structures stand on a hilltop overlooking the Danube River, 20 kilometers east of Linz.
From 1938 to 1945, this concentration camp imprisoned 190,000 people from across Europe, resulting in 90,000 deaths through forced labor and systematic murder.
The memorial site contains multiple national monuments representing different countries whose citizens perished within the camp system.
Guided tours in multiple languages provide detailed information about the camp's facilities, including the quarry, crematorium, and prisoner barracks.
The 186 stone steps known as the Death Stairs connected the granite quarry to the camp, where prisoners carried heavy blocks under extreme conditions.
