Dark History - Concentration Camp Mauthausen, Austria

in history •  7 years ago  (edited)

First of all, some informations about the concentration camp.

The construction of the camp began in August 1938. It was built near a granite quarry and because of its proximity to Linz. The granite that was mined there was needed to realize the plans of Albert Speer. First it was run as a prison camp but it was converted to a labour camp later on.
For more infos, visit the offical site of the memorial here. I was there two years ago and want to share the pictures I took there.

The Album: Link. I didn't add a description to most of the pictures because the purpose of this post is to give you an impression of the cruelties that happened there.
