Visit Mauthausen Memorial Site with this tour from Vienna. During the ride, a certified guide will accompany you, and tell you the most important information about Austrian history and its participation in the Second World War, while on site pedagogically trained mediators will accompany you.
Active from 1938 to 1945, Mauthausen was at the centre of a system of over 40 subcamps and was the main site of political, social, racist and anti-Semitic persecution by the National Socialist regime on Austrian territory. The Mauthausen Memorial aims to ensure public awareness on Europe's history during the Second World War, the memory of its victims, and the responsibility borne by the perpetrators and onlookers, and to raise levels of awareness on National Socialist ideology, anti-Semitism, racism, minority discrimination and anti-democratic activities, also in today's society.
Thanks to the displayed documents, the exhibitions, and the always ongoing educational programmes you will learn how to think about Mauthausen camp in a critical way, understanding its meaning for past, present, and future history.
