Why Visit the Mauthausen Memorial?

This journey is more than history—it is a chance to confront the dangers of hatred and antisemitism while honoring the strength of the human spirit. Once one of Austria’s largest Nazi concentration camps, Mauthausen is now a place of learning, reflection, and commemoration.

A visit offers a responsible way to engage with Austria’s National Socialist past, with particular focus on the Jewish experience. Eighty years after liberation, it remains vital to respect the victims of the Shoah and ensure their voices are remembered. Mauthausen plays an essential role in Jewish and European memory culture.

Walking its preserved grounds, exhibitions, and memorials allows for deeper understanding of lives lost, atrocities committed, and the resilience of survivors.

This initiative, supported by the Claims Conference and the Austrian Federal Chancellery, makes the trip accessible at only a fraction of its real cost.

    Tour Mauthausen at Your Own Pace – Self-Guided Visit Today you will visit the Mauthausen Memorial, one of the largest Nazi concentration camps in Austria, established in 1938. Tens of thousands from across Europe were imprisoned here under horrific conditions, and many lost their lives. Among the persecuted, Jews were the most numerous and had the lowest survival rate, reflecting the uniquely brutal treatment they endured. This visit encourages reflection on the Jewish experience at Mauthausen, an often underrepresented aspect of Holocaust remembrance. The memorial stands as a solemn reminder of the atrocities committed and serves as a place for education, remembrance, and reflection. Preserved buildings, exhibitions, and monuments provide historical context and honor the victims. This part of the day is self-guided so you can explore at your own pace. Audio guides, apps, and displays are available to support your visit.
