Visit the former Mauthausen concentration camp from Vienna in a small group. Explore the historic premises and learn all about life in the camp during World War II and after. Mauthausen concentration camp in Upper Austria was one of the largest labor camp complexes in the Third Reich. Between 1938 and 1945 about 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned in Mauthausen. About half of them lost their lives. Today, the Mauthausen Memorial stands as a reminder of the darkest days of Austria’s history.
Depart from your hotel in Vienna in a private limousine or minivan. Your friendly English-speaking driver will drive you to the Memorial in safety and comfort. Upon arrival explore the preserved historic premises at your own pace with audio guides (available in 11 languages*). See the Wiener-Graben quarry, the Stairs of Death, the SS-Quarters, the Camp Prison, and the Gas Chamber, and visit the newly re-opened Mauthausen Museum. Honor the victims by learning about this crucial period in history.
