Mauthausen Concentration Camp Tour & Audio Guide From Vienna
By the summer of 1940, Mauthausen Concentration Camp had become one of the largest labor camp complexes in the German-occupied part of Europe. Some 200,000 people are thought to have been imprisoned at Mauthausen between 1938 and 1945, and about half of them lost their lives. Mauthausen was the last camp complex to be liberated by the Allies. At the meeting point, climb aboard your comfortable tour vehicle, meet your English-speaking tour guide, and become acquainted with the history of Mauthausen Memorial during the ride from Vienna. After journeying through the countryside of Lower and Upper Austria, arrive at Mauthausen Memorial, a building that stands on the site of the former Mauthausen Concentration Camp. See Wiener-Graben quarry, the prisoners’ barracks, the so-called 'Stairs of Death,' SS quarters, gas chamber, camp prison and the Mauthausen Museum for more historical background on the camp and WWII. Afterward, climb back aboard your tour vehicle and begin the drive back to Vienna.
