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.

Davor was an excellent driver and full of great knowledge of the area. I found 3 hours to be enough time to see everything in the camp and a bit of time to see the quarry too. Going back to Vienna, D also gave handy hints how to get about safely. Would definitely recommend going
