The Mauthausen Memorial is an important site of remembrance that offers a look at one of the darkest periods in Austria's history. 

It was here that, from 1938 to 1945, close to 200,000 individuals from some 40 countries were held prisoner by the Nazi regime, with an estimated 90,000 dying here due to its brutal conditions.

 The journey begins in the modern visitor center, once the infirmary, where exhibits provide a chilling overview of life in the concentration camp and its network of subcamps across Austria.
