Was it build by prisoners?
Thank you for sharing such an informative video, even though the content was quite saddening.
The Catholic Priest Father Jean from the 1987 French film "Au Revoir les Enfants" ("Goodbye Children") was imprisoned and died at Mauthausen for his efforts to hide Jewish kids in a Catholic boarding school during the Second World War.
Well done, so devastating. I wish we did learn, but I think camps similar to the ones during WWII will soon be built in the U.S. 😩
Thank you for your thoughtful channel. And for keeping the memory alive of all the people who endured such cruelty. I never knew there were Spanish prisoners in this camp. Love and respect from Melbourne Australia.
Alina, your videos are some of the best history videos on YouTube. Thank you!
My Grandfather Was a Wehrmacht Captain..He passed away in 2005..He Was a very Meticulous Person Organized..always Well Dressed..Sharp..He spent Most of His Time on His Desk or Walking His German Shepherd
He Told Me That He Had absolutely no idea about The Concentration Camps..He Thoughts it Was a Prisons..He Fought in North Africa and France..by The end of The War He Was released just after His Trial..and He Worked as a Professor of Physics at The University of Munich for Twenty Years..
great video the way you narrated this was amazing
I have visited Auschwitz and Dachau but passed on the opportunities to visit Mauthausen and Majdenek as I had seen enough by then. I have since come to realize, however, that every concentration camp was its own chapter in a very dark history and would make a point of visiting them if circumstances allow to at least pay my respects to all who died or suffered there. On behalf of those unfortunates, thank you for keeping their memory alive. These stories must be continuously told and re-told.
You are a beautiful tender young lady. Are you looking for a husband?
I’ve been studying The Holocaust since 1975 when as a teenager the British Documentary Series “World at War” and the Episode “The Final Solution” appeared on television. I’ve never visited Mauthausen but I’ve visited Dachau Concentration Camp Museum near Bad Tolz Germany in Bayern several times as a young American soldier from 1985-1989. It’s important that YouTubers such as yourself make these important videos to remember these victims and to ensure these kinds of atrocities never happen again. It can happen in any nation. Many young people don’t know about the Holocaust and it’s important to remember it. An excellent video indeed! 👍
One aspect you didn't mention was the the top of the hill not only were prisoners pushed off but they would put them in rows amd tell the person standing behind to male a decision, either push the person in front off or they would be pushed.
Thank you, Alina for an informative narration of this most horrific place in history.
Great video ! I read a book about Mauthausen long time before Youtube appeared ! Those 186 steps gave me chills then ! Seeing them now and seeing the whole camp bring back those shivers on my spine !
Alina, thanks for your excellent video. Very well done. I appreciate your presentation, knowledge of the subject matter and your articulate way in which you discuss the history of this terrible place. I believe all school children should watch and learn from your video. Please keep up your good work. Its very important. Greeting & best wishes from San Diego.
Great lessons learned. You do such a great job Alina! Thank you for your hard work.
In 1996 i worked for a Irish woman who was in a concentration camp during WW2 she had the numbers tattooed on her left forearm
Please watch out because Youtube demonetized a lot of chanels for showing pictures of concentrationcamp victims.
I wonder how the average nazi would have felt in 1941 on methamphetamine with their boot on another human beings face …….its the UNTHINKABLE.
Wow this is so evil , still cant get over what they done to beautiful people, its heart braking, 💔
I did know about this but only by name, I didn’t know much about what went on here.
Another great video, it’s so important that people watch and share these… thanks for taking the time to visit, research and post this for those who maybe can’t physically get there in person as well! I’ll add this to my visit plan, but it’s now a very big list! 😂👍
I knew it about Mauthausen. Thank you for sharing Alina. People learned of it? Nope pittely not.
Alina, nice video, thank you for your time.
The Kapo were German hardened criminals..they had the green triangle on clothing.
😮
It is disturbing how beautiful the surrounding areas of Mauthausen are….
It’s like a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Regardless, thank you for not censoring those horrific images of torture and death. I didn’t know how barbaric those methods were and it is heartbreaking seeing what was done
How about the Romani people? Far more of them died than Spanish soldiers, yet rarely a mention. 😕
Thank you very much Alina to keep this unforgettable story going
And I always follow this with pation and respect and I love to visit the Camp sites one day
Lots of innocent people suffered for no reason specially children
Thank you Alina
Thank you again beautiful Alina for this video. I mentioned in your previous video I just discovered these.
Keep up these important videos
I have family who died and survived mathausen.
I visited Mauthausen in mid 1998 when I was conducting a Contiki tour. I'm from 🇦🇺
Thank you for your work, Alina. Many of us have never had the opportunity to visit these sites ourselves, & have little hope to ever do so. Educate & remembering history is vital.
Thank you for the way you make your videos. It's important information that everyone needs to know
My husband and I went to Austria on a ski trip back in the 1980s. After a few days, I wanted to explore and decided to visit the Mauthausen memorial museum. I wan't prepared for what I saw… the graveyard, the quarry, the clothing and shoes taken from the victims, the photographs,. And, I will also never forget the unfriendly looks I got from the staff. It took me awhile to realize that as an American, I represented the country that destroyed their Third Reich fever dream. The hatred on their faces was chilling, and unforgettable.
Awesome video! I knew more about Mauthausen due to a Spanish movie called the Photographer of Mauthausen, I highly recommend it as it is extremely well done, Mario Casas its the main character as the photographer it makes a vi id reference to all you explain in your video. Hope one day in the future I get to go and pay my respects to all the victims. Following you now.
Alina, We visited Mauthausen in July 2024 to visit where my French Grandfather was taken as a political prisoner. He was put in the worst area, the infirmary, which is just below the main concentration camp, and next to where the SS would play football matches. (The Americans burnt the building, as there was so much disease and death).
My Grandfather was taken to Schloss Hartheim, on the west side of Linz. Being told he/they were going to the “Doctors, to get better).
He was gassed and killed, like many nationalities. Italians, French, Greeks and Spanish.
Such a beautiful area, with such shockingly sad history, and my family have had to endure.
