Best Concentration camp memorial site in austria

D	Dwayne Hauck on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very moving place to visit where people talk in hushed voices. It would be impossible to describe the horrors of this place and far too easy to blame on generations passed. Should be a place that every school student should visit.
M	M Peters on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The camp is quite intact. Decently preserved with a map provided at the visitors center to guide you on the walking tour. Everything is marked clearly on the map and easy to find. Not a sprawling camp like Auschwitz but well worth the visit.
B	Brandi Hammon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Heartbreaking experience but one that everyone should have. It includes an audio tour but only for 13 years and older. I shared the audio with my children but that would be up to you. The site has several buildings still in tact. The showers exposed the vulnerability of us as humans. The amount of pain caused here and with a town so close. The last building of the tour has been converted into a museum and is full of stories by both survivors and historical accounts. While the furnaces were dismantled by the SS prior to capture there is plenty here to understand the horrors man is capable of. The lower level is full of artifacts and accounts from prisoners held here. The “Stairs of Death” were fenced off to the quarry but still visible. Each area was well explained and brought reality to the suffering effecting so many. Very worth your time.
T	Thea on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to visit this important memorial. For years I read about who spent years in this camp, and now, since Mauthausen looks approximately the same as 80 years ago, I can better understand what was like "living" here. The guide, Rika, was the best, and her Italian is really good! She explained everything in the best way possible, so I'm really satisfied with my visit. This memorial left me absolutely speechless and it was impossible not getting emotional while I was walking in there.
G	Gabija Kiaušaitė on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I believe the history should not be forgotten. An open museum to the public, you can install the app and walk around the place while listening to the online guide. Also, a great museum. At least 2 hours recommended.
B	Buddhas Fury on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very impressive. The guide was knowledgeable and kind. If I had a question I would get a satisfying answer. Only the weather was bad but befitting the surrounding. For every person a must visit, especially considering the topic.
M	Michel Bekker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very impressive place to visit. It is well documented. The guide is an app on the phone. It works excellent. It really shows the atmosphere of the time the quarry and camp were a bad place to be. Bring some good walking shoes, read the Wikipedia and don't forget to drive down to see the stairs and quarry from below.
