AUSTRIA: EXPLORING the WW2 Concentration Camp of MAUTHAUSEN, FULL TOUR
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the Mauthausen–Gusen concentration camp which was the hub of a large group of German concentration camps that was built around the villages of Mauthausen and Sankt Georgen an der Gusen (Gusen) in Upper Austria, roughly 20 kilometres east of the city of Linz. The camp operated from the time when Austria was annexed into the German Third Reich in 8 August 1938, to 5 May 1945, at the end of the Second World War. Starting with a single camp at Mauthausen, the complex expanded over time and by the summer of 1940 Mauthausen had become one of the largest labour camp complexes in the German-controlled part of Europe, with four main subcamps at Mauthausen and nearby Gusen, and nearly 100 other subcamps located throughout Austria and southern Germany, directed from a central office at Mauthausen.
Austria is a German-speaking country in Central Europe, characterized by mountain villages, baroque architecture, Imperial history and rugged Alpine terrain. Vienna, its Danube River capital, is home to the Schönbrunn and Hofburg palaces. It has counted Mozart, Strauss and Freud among its residents. The country’s other notable regions include the northern Bohemian Forest, Traunsee Lake and eastern hillside vineyards.

Mauthausen und Gusen zwischen 1938 und 1945: Gegen das Vergessen
Ein Weg durch St. Georgen an der Gusen erinnert an die grausamen Vorkommnisse, die damals passiert sind. Die Geschichte und das Schicksal der Menschen, die damals in St. Georgen ein Martyrium erleiden mussten, darf nicht in Vergessenheit geraten. Ein Themenweg führt durch den Ort vorbei an Originalschauplätzen. Auch für Schulklassen und zum aktiven Erleben der Geschichte eignet sich dieser Rundgang. Begleitend dazu gibt es Infomaterial in der so genannten Johann Gruber Gedenkbox.

Gusen concentration camp memorial
Gusen was a subcamp of Mauthausen and is located close by and built around a quarry. Today very little can be seen and all that remains is this memorial and museum.
Gusen. Wojna o pamięć DEUTSCHE wersja niemieckojęzyczna Gusen. Der Kampf um die Erinnerung“
Gusen. Der Kampf um die Erinnerung“ von Rafał Geremek (OmdU)
Der Dokumentarfilm schildert die Geschichte des KZs Mauthausen-Gusen, die mit der Geschichte des „Massakers von Katyn“, dem Massenmord an der polnischen Intelligenz verglichen werden kann. Die österreichische Regierung legt nur wenig Wert auf ein würdiges Gedenken an diesen Hinrichtungsort, das von der tragischen Geschichte zeugen würde. Das Museum in Mauthausen bildet einen Kontrast zur kleinen KZ-Gedenkstätte, die in Gusen auf Kosten der dortigen Bevölkerung errichtet wurde. In der Dokumentation äußern sich neben den ehemaligen KZ-Häftlingen auch Mitglieder des lokalen Gedenkdienstkomitees Gusen, die sich für ein würdiges Gedenken an die Opfer des KZs einsetzen. Der lokale Amateurhistoriker, Rudolf Haunschmied beweist, dass in dem Doppellagersystem Mauthausen-Gusen ausgerechnet das Nebenlager, oder genauer gesagt die drei Nebenlager in Gusen, das ökonomische Herzstück dieses Hinrichtungskomplexes bildeten. Der Film macht auch die Tatsache deutlich, dass das KZ Gusen eines der grausamsten Konzentrationslager im ganzen nationalsozialistischen Archipel der Massenvernichtung war. Die Erinnerungen der ehemaligen KZ-Häftlinge wurden durch zahlreiche von ihnen geschaffene Grafiken illustriert.

Austria: Secrets of Hitler's nuclear ambition buried in concrete
The little town of Sankt Georgen an der Gusen could well hold the key to unlocking the secrets behind Hitler's atomic weapons projects. An underground complex of tunnels running underneath the small village still contains untold secrets that both Allied and Soviet troops missed when the village was liberated.
The Bergkristall complex, located only 15 kilometres (9 miles) from the industrial Austrian city of Linz, was used both in the construction of parts for Nazi fighter jets and for weapons research. Not only was Bergkristall headed up by infamous Nazi SS General Hans Kammler, who was associated with Wonder Weapons research, but many technical scientists were forced to join the ranks of slave labour at this nearby Gusen Concentration Camp.
However, the details remained so secret that no inmate was allowed to leave and when the Nazis were forced to retreat, they sealed certain parts of the complex with cement and covered them with earth so that the most sensitive parts would never be found.
Documentary filmmaker Andreas Sulzer and Gusen Memorial Committee Board Member Rudolph Haunschmied have both been investigating the mysterious operations at Bergkristall underground tunnel complex. Sulzer's search took him across continents to dig through archive records of US, British, German and Russian WWII sources. Historians confirm that the Nazis had worked on nuclear research and had even produced uranium cubes in Oranienburg, but Sulzer believes Bergkristall could have served as a research facility to help Hitler in his drive for a nuclear weapon. The filmmaker has no doubt that Bergkristall hosted secret military activities, he says it could even be associated with atomic research.
Will the discovery and exploration of this new shaft lead to a re-writing of the history books? Only time and a bit of drilling will tell ...

KZ-Gedenkstätte Mauthausen und Gusen
The Mauthausen–Gusen concentration camp complex consisted of the Mauthausen concentration camp on a hill above the market town of Mauthausen (roughly 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Linz, Upper Austria) plus a group of nearly 100 further subcampslocated throughout Austria and southern Germany. The three Gusen concentration camps in and around the village of St Georgen/Gusen, just a few kilometres from Mauthausen, held a significant proportion of prisoners within the camp complex, at times exceeding the number of prisoners at the Mauthausen main camp.
The Mauthausen main camp operated from the time of the Anschluss, when Austria was annexed to Nazi Germany in 8 August 1938, to 5 May 1945, at the end of the Second World War. Starting with the camp at Mauthausen, the number of subcamps expanded over time and by the summer of 1940 Mauthausen and its subcamps had become one of the largest labour camp complexes in the German-controlled part of Europe. As at other Nazi concentration camps, the inmates at Mauthausen and its subcamps were forced to work as slave labour, under conditions that caused many deaths. Mauthausen and its subcamps included quarries, munitionsfactories, mines, arms factories and plants assembling Me 262 fighter aircraft. In January 1945, the camps contained roughly 85,000 inmates. The death toll remains unknown, although most sources place it between 122,766 and 320,000 for the entire complex.
Mauthausen was one of the first massive concentration camp complexes in Nazi Germany, and the last to be liberated by the Allies. The two largest camps, Mauthausen and Gusen I, were classed as Grade III (Stufe III) concentration camps, which meant that they were intended to be the toughest camps for the incorrigible political enemies of the Reich. Mauthausen never lost this Stufe IIIclassification. In the offices of the Reich Main Security Office(Reichssicherheitshauptamt; RSHA) it was referred to by the nickname Knochenmühle – the bone-grinder (literally bone-mill). Unlike many other concentration camps, which were intended for all categories of prisoners, Mauthausen was mostly used for extermination through labour of the intelligentsia – educated people and members of the higher social classes in countries subjugated by the Nazi regime during World War II. The Mauthausen main camp is now a museum.

Ende in Gusen
Otto Freytags Leben war kein Ruhmesblatt für die Familie. Wegen seiner Betrügereien kam er in Zuchthaus. Weil die Gefahr bestand dass er wieder rückfällig werden könnte, wurde Sicherungsverwahrung angeordnet. Während der NS Zeit kamen diese SV Häftliche ins KZ und starben meistens nach wenigen Wochen. Ab 1. April 1943 waren von den 12.658 überstellten Sicherungsverwahrten bereits 5935 in den Konzentrationslagern - die meistens von ihnen in Mauthausen/Gusen an Entkräftung und Krankheit gestorben. Otto Freytag ist einer von ihnen.

Landscape and Denial: Restoring Memory to Images of KZ Gusen
Simon Schama, in Landscape and Memory, writes, Before it can ever be a repose for the senses, landscape is the work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock. What happens to landscape when constitutive testimonies have been excluded? How does this affect the history of a landscape if the memories are suppressed? Conversely, what effect does restoration of memory have on what can be seen in photographs and film? My research into the KZ Gusen camps as well as my co-authorship of the memoirs of Wiktor Kielick, a survivor from Czempin, Poland, required me to be familiar with the scene of Nazi crimes in Upper Austria, a landscape that had largely disappeared from the historical narrative.
For decades, nearly 40,000 slave laborers' deaths in the quarries and underground Messerschmitt 262 factory associated with KZ Gusen I, II, and III were largely absent from histories of Nazi crimes, even from the displays at the Mauthausen Museum. The practice of suppressing of individual and collective memory of Gusen from the dominant narrative of KZ Mauthausen created gaps in the landscape. Even after the KZ Gusen Memorial' construction by French and Italian survivors in 1965, Gusen camp remnants remained invisible to all but the eye witnesses. In 1990 and 1996, this obscurity caused Professor Paul Jaskot (The Architecture of Oppression) to locate the Gusen quarry not with assistance from the Mauthausen Museum's exhibits or staff, but by using SS documents. The perpetrators' records defined the landscape and, therefore, memory.
Rehabilitating the KZ Gusen landscape through dialogue between survivors, liberators and the local community did more than correct the historical record; reconstituted with memories, the landscape revealed itself to be more than background to known events, but evidence of the unknown.

KZ - Ratti HD - Parte 4 - L'orrore di Gusen
Angelo Ratti, classe 1926. Da adolescente, insieme ad alcuni compaesani di Cernusco sul Naviglio, sceglie un modo molto semplice, seppur incoscientemente pericoloso, di opporsi alla Repubblica Sociale Italiana: strappare nella notte i manifesti della propaganda nazifascista. Per questo motivo viene arrestato e deportato nel micidiale ed orribile KZ Gusen II, il cimitero degli Italiani, il più agghiacciante tra i sottocampi di Mauthausen. Uno dei pochissimi a resistere oltre un anno nel mattatoio di Gusen. La sua testimonianza è struggente, commovente, ma assolutamente imperdibile, per l'alto contenuto storico ed educativo. Per non dimenticare.
Regia di Filippo Grilli, musiche di Filippo Bentivoglio, prodotto da Giancarlo Grilli per Gpg Film in collaborazione con Cnos Fap e Aned di Sesto San Giovanni.

Baubeginn KZ Gusen
Ab Dezember 1939 mussten KZ-Häftlinge das Konzentrationslager Gusen errichten. Das Zweiglager des KZ Mauthausen war ein Ort der Vernichtung und in den Jahren 1944/45 das größte Konzentrationslager auf österreichischem Territorium.
