History of the camp
The Mauthausen concentration camp, together with the Gusen concentration camp and over 40 satellite camps, was the central site of political, social and racial persecution by the National Socialist regime on Austrian soil from 1938 to 1945. Of the approximately 190,000 people imprisoned here, around 90,000 were murdered.
The permanent display at the former hospital wing offers a true depiction of Nazi concentration camp system and of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp with its related subcamps.Legal contact information
