Mauthausen
Concentration Camp
One of two main concentration camps,
Mauthausen, was also one of the only two camps
in all of Europe that were Grade III camps. They
were the toughest camps for the Incorrigible
Political Enemies of the Reich. Many other
camps were intended for all categories of
prisoners, but Mauthausen was mostly used for
extermination through forced labor of educated
people and members of the higher social classes
in countries under the Nazi regime.
