Emotionally it is a lot to experience but so important that we all bear witness to this place and its dark history.

“I cannot recommend this trip enough. Jenny is an amazing guide! On the ride from Vienna to Mauthausen, Jenny provided us with an informative history of Austria. Her knowledge of Mauthausen and its history was amazing. It was such an emotional visit - but something that was such a huge part of world history. Then it was off to the Eagle’s Nest.

We had a nice lunch and plenty of time to walk around and read about its history. On…”
