Presentation transcript:

Mauthausen “A Protective Detention Camp” Public Memorial and Museum Established by the Austrian Federal Government. Opened May, 1970 Admittance Feb. 1-Dec. 16

Most of Mauthausen’s 9,000 camp guards were members of the SS (Schutz-Staffel) the Nazi special police force. Their primary job was to guard the camp for the Gestapo and carry out mass executions of Jews and Slavs. Anyone putting on an SS uniform sold himself to crime. On May 3, 1945, approximately 65,000 men and 1,700 women were official inmates of Mauthausen. More than 15,000 souls also lived there, unregistered. This included 37 Americans. US soldiers liberated about 81,000 men, women and children on May 5, 1945.

“If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. “Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. “Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.” Viktor Frankl

History I visited the Mauthausen public memorial and museum in Aug. 1996 and in June 2004. I took most of these photos at that time. The information comes from pamphlets that I purchased at the site. For this PowerPoint, I have added photos and archived materials from Remember.org and the Holocaust Memorial Museum I have also used photos and information from: Alan Jacobs, a psychotherapist, author and independent researcher on issues related to genocide and the abuse of power. His film, which uses SS photos and survivors’ words and art , is used in universities, professional conferences and cultural centers. Scott Sakansky Krysia Jacobs, Brave New Web
