Mauthausen Memorial, Holocaust memorial site in Mauthausen, Austria.
The Mauthausen Memorial encompasses the preserved grounds, buildings, and quarry of a former Nazi concentration camp established during World War II.
From 1938 to 1945, over 190,000 prisoners passed through Mauthausen concentration camp, with more than 90,000 individuals perishing due to forced labor and executions.
The memorial museum presents photographs, documents, and personal belongings of prisoners, illustrating the systematic persecution of various groups during the Nazi regime.
Guided tours in multiple languages lead visitors through the camp grounds, prisoner barracks, crematorium, and quarry, requiring advance reservations for groups.
The notorious granite quarry contains 186 steep steps where prisoners carried heavy stones, marking one of the most brutal forced labor locations in the camp system.

Austria extends well beyond Vienna and Salzburg. Away from major tourist routes lie natural monuments and historical sites that reveal the country's geological and cultural heritage. From the Eisriesenwelt ice caves near Werfen to medieval castles such as Hochosterwitz in Carinthia, this collection documents the diversity of Austrian regions. The selection includes alpine lakes like Plansee near Reutte and Altausseer See, historical railways in the Waldviertel, gorges such as Garnitzen Klamm, and mountain roads like the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Libraries such as the one at Admont Abbey, waterfalls at Krimml and Gastein, and memorial sites like Mauthausen are among the documented locations. These destinations reveal Austria's geographical range and make a visit worthwhile.
