The Mauthausen concentration camp memorial is located in Austria, on the site of the former Mauthausen concentration camp, which operated during World War II. It serves as a place of remembrance for the over 100,000 victims who suffered and died there, primarily political prisoners, Jews, and other targeted groups. The memorial includes various monuments, exhibitions, and preserved buildings that reflect the camp's history and the atrocities committed. Visitors to the memorial can explore the grounds, including the infamous quarry where many prisoners were forced to work under brutal conditions. The site aims to educate the public about the Holocaust and promote awareness of human rights issues, ensuring that the lessons of the past are not forgotten.
