What Was Mauthausen?

Mauthausen was a high-security walled prison, which sat on a hill-top in the Austrian countryside. It's inmates were 'Class three' career criminals such as murderers, condemned German criminals, resistance fighters, saboteurs, Allied commandos, dangerous Russian POWs.

It sat on a stone quarry, and Nazis allowed designated prisoners to work it.

When the Allies liberated the camp, it suddenly went from a prison full of criminals, to a death camp where 1.5 million Jews were killed.

It Was A Prison

It was the 1940 version of a super-max prison, like today's Pelican Bay.


	Camp Size It was a small camp, that held 7,500 total.


	Camp Staff These were administrative types. The guards, were usually wounded soldier, sent from the front.


	Camp Money These camps were run as small towns, and even issued their own currency.


	Canteens And Brothels Mauthausen also had a canteen where the prisoners could buy cigarettes, and a brothel with 10 women.


	Liberation Mauthausen was liberated on April 27, 1945.


	Liberated Prisoners Tell Fantastic Stories Jewish prisoners said Nazis called this cliff the 'Parachute Jump', and often forced prisoners to jump, just for entertainment. They claim that overworked Jewish prisoners would climb to the top, join hands, and leap out of total despair.


	Jews Put In Ovens Alive Prisoners were clubbed in front of the oven and then cremated. It was not uncommon for the Jews to wake up, and try and fight their way out. Many a sonderkommando would returned to his furnace, and find a hand sticking out.

	Trials The proceedings against the 61 Mauthausen accused began on March 29, 1946 and ended on May 13, 1946. 58 were sentenced to death, and hung. The other three were sentenced to life in prison.

This Makes A Lot Of Sense

Liberate a bunch of criminals from a prison, establish a court with Jewish prosecutors, use the Jewish criminals as witnesses to testify against the German warden, and staff. Then declare them guilty, and hang them.
