Mauthausen Concentration Camp and its collection

Mauthausen Concentration Camp
Source

Mauthausen-Gusen was a collection of Nazi concentration camps located around the small Austrian town of Mauthausen, approximately 20 km east of Linz. The main camp was established shortly after Austria's Anschluss and evolved into one of the most notorious concentration camps. The camp was situated near a granite quarry that supplied a large portion of the stone used for paving the streets of Vienna.
