KZ Mauthausen Central Camp

---

"Easterly Complex" , April 2, 1945, 01:30 p.m., 26,000 feet

The central camp of the KZ Mauthausen is located some 3 km east of the KZ Gusen I & II.

Today it is a museum to commemorate the 120,000 victims that died in a system of 49 different camps.

The largest group of victims (some 40,000 out of them) died at the bigger Gusen camps some kilometers away.

In the warīs final phase, the stone-quarries and most of the campīs surrounding buildings were used
for the production of KZ Gusen II aircraft-parts, too.
