Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour from Vienna

Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour from Vienna

3
With the comfortable bus ride from Vienna to Mauthausen you will get directly to the memorial site without any further stops in an estimated time of only 2,5h and at the same time you will learn interesting historical details from our guide. The central task of the memorial is to anchor the history of the Mauthausen concentration camp and its subcamps, the memory of their victims and the responsibility of the perpetrators and bystanders in the public consciousness. At the same time, public discussion of history in the light of its significance for the present and future is also to be promoted. The pedagogically trained mediators on site take care of the visitors and try to sensitize them to National Socialist re-enactment, anti-Semitism, racism, discrimination against minorities and hostility to democracy. After the visit to the memorial, you will again start the 2.5h drive to Vienna with our guide in the bus, who will be at your disposal for the follow-up of the contents.

Small Group tour from Vienna to Mauthausen Memorial Camp

Small Group tour from Vienna to Mauthausen Memorial Camp

Mauthausen was a concentration camp located in Austria during World War II. It was one of the largest and most brutal camps in the Nazi concentration camp system. Originally established in 1938 and was primarily used for political prisoners, resistance fighters, and other "undesirables" such as Jews, homosexuals, and disabled individuals. It was known for its harsh conditions, forced labor, and high mortality rate. Prisoners at Mauthausen were subjected to extreme brutality, torture, and inhumane treatment by the guards. Many prisoners died from malnutrition, disease, exhaustion, were killed in gas chambers or other methods of execution. Mauthausen was liberated by the Allies in May 1945, but the atrocities that occurred at the camp have left a lasting impact on the survivors and their families. Today, Mauthausen serves as a memorial and museum to educate visitors about the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering the victims and survivors of Nazi persecution.

Sad yes, educational, very much so, necessary, absolutely yes
A visit to any kind of history related to the Holocaust is never easy. However, I think it is important if you can do it. This trip to Mauthausen touched all of the important points about the camp. The tour guide there told some moving and some interesting stories. He made us think how people could be so inhuman and inhumane to others. I recommend this tour.

It was a very emotional tour. We went down to the quarry and viewed the steps after the tour. Our driver and tour guide were very knowledgeable. It was a great experience.

Although sad, it was great to learn the history! The tour guide on the bus and the tour guide at the camp were both very knowledgeable. Love that they showed a background video on the bus as well

Top-notch guide
The Mauthausen guide was incredibly knowledgeable and well organized. We've all heard stories about such places, but seeing the reality is very sobering -- and inspiring to do everything we can to avoid such horrors in the present and future.
