Had the opportunity to travel to Austria (Wien) for work. Took a train to Mauthausen. Worth the trip.

  1. We visited Mauthausen when I was 14 … that was 20 years ago, and I still get goosebumps when I think about it.

  4. I was there rather recently. Just driving up the hill to the KZ is spine-chilling.

  7. I was there over 20 years ago when I, and my classmates were 13yo. It took us over 3 hours by bus to reach it and while the bus ride the mood was very typical for 13yos.. Like we laughed and played games all the time. After we visited the mauthausen sight the ride home was completely silent. I’ll never forget that visit.

  9. Thank you for taking the trip to Mauthausen. Please do tell anyone willing to listen what you saw, what you felt. Tell them about the atrocities, about the lives that ended there, about the cruelty.

    Fighting racism starts small.

  11. You see in the comments how much Austrians like to be reminded about that era… It’s a monument to not forget. Making photos, sharing them and talking about it is exactly the point why Mauthausen still exists. At least if the photos are tasteful (which yours are…)

  12. It’s Wild what happened there and that was just a “Labour Camp”.

    I visited it multiple times over the years Including the time when they still didn’t set up the red guard paths for certain rooms.

    Stepping into them without knowing anything means nothing but as soon as you learn what those walls must have witnessed, you only want out.
