JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. KONZENTRATIONSLAGER MAUTHAUSEN II


Shalom! World.

Never More.
The Mauthausen memorial site consists of watchtowers, barbed wire, and a gas chamber. Mauthausen is located 17 miles from Linz and 80 miles west of Vienna. Methods of execution included pushing inmates from one of the 186 steps that they had to climb while carrying rocks from the quarry or ordering them to run to the barbed wire and then shooting them as escapees. The University of Stuttugart concluded its report on Mauthausen with, "deliberate extermination played a more significant role in this camp than in other concentration camps."
According to James E. Young, author of The Texture of Memory: Holocaust Memorials and Meaning in Europe, Israel, and America, "Mauthausen has been transformed from a hekkish scar on the landscape to a clean, beautiful maintained state memorial." There are 20 national monuments, and the Jewish memorial is a Menoráh. The visitors can see all the buidings of the former concentration camp and its museum with 133 pictures and exhibts. A guide is available or you can obtain a tape as well as a film. Additional exhibits show the fate of Austrians in the concentration camps of Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, Ravensbruck, Auschwitx and Theresienstadt.
