I visited here in the eighties and found the experience very sobering. One of the things that struck me was as I was walking around I became aware that there were no birds flying around the camp. As I visited in summer there were swallows that would fly up to the outer walls and then turn back, I took photo's of the swallows doing that as I found it very strange.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I did not see any birds there, but if I saw a bird flying back and forth in that area, I would be scared and might hide. The whole area is scary, let alone seeing a bird behaving that way!
When I watched a documentary series about Auschwitz the other day, one of the survivors claimed that there were so much evil there, that God couldn't come there. I took that literally, and the behavior of the swallows near Mauthausen seem sensible and right, since it was a dreadful place, even those in other concentration camps would dread the slavery there and being worked to death in the quarries, carrying up to 75 pound heavy granite blocks up 180 steps, with next to no food, in the dead of winter, with no proper clothes, wooden shoes etc. then go down and get more, from sunrise to sunset, every day, week after week, month after month, until some sickness, or starvation led them to their death, with not even a grave to rest in.
I can feel the obscure and evil atrocities that took place there. It's interesting how, to a large extent, how our governments have continued these atrocities and justified these with legislation- cheers man and keep on sharing!
It was one of the saddest things I have ever seen. I read about it in history books, but when I was there, the actual place, I was too shocked to think. This part of history should never have happened. Thank you for watching the video and for your comment.
Very sad place in history. Going to this all by yourself must have been very eerie and scary. Up to 2000 people in barracks housed for 300. I can't imagine how horrible it was.
I can only imagine how haunting that experience must have been. It's important to remember and reflect on history to ensure it is never repeated. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the gravity of your visit.
Thank you for the tour. I hope I can visit that place in the future. How sad is human's history a lot of times. If I felt sad by the video, I can't image the feeling there. I hope this never happens again, and I hope one day we are also more respectful with animals. This is everyone's planet, not only ours
Was at Mauthausen November '23 went on a taut from Vienna incredible tour ... Tour guide was incredible gave us unbelievable information throughout tour was humbled shocked and saddened by what I witnessed RIP 👃➕.
I went here a number of years ago. The sense of evil I felt was palpable. I will nerve forget approaching the cremation ovens. They were glowing inside almost as if the ashes of the victims were still inside. As I looked inside the glowing was from small candles of remembrance placed inside the ovens. The sense of loss and sadness I felt was overpowering.
@@tanjawesseling6283 Are you the Tanja Wesseling in New Zealand or Germany? I'll just call the police both places, for inciting suicide to random people online. Not sure if you misunderstood my sarcasm, or if you are another Neo-Nazi, but I'm tired of people like you that think you can do whatever you want online.
@@tanjawesseling6283 Do you want a visit from the police perhaps? I won't have problems finding out where and who you are. Any particular reason why you are telling me that I should drown myself? Because of my sarcastic reply to the OP? Are you a Neo-Nazi, that think it's nice of people to joke about swimming pools in former death camps?

Yes, it is a very sad place in history that should never have happened. Thank you for watching.
Was at the horror show that is Mauthausen last Tuesday 7/11/23 unbelievable hard to believe I walked the same steps as Himmler 😡......

Thank you for sharing your experience. Visiting Mauthausen is very emotional and your words capture the deep sadness felt there.

E una vergogna hanno amodernizzato tutto sembra per coloro che vengono per la prima volta alcuni locali di una locanda
Der echr name ist.: Konzentrationslager Mauthausen-Gusen
Did the mauthausen camp have a swimming pool too?
What a sweet and polite thing to ask. You must be a really kind person.
@elvenkind6072 Do you breathe and swallow at the same time while under water??you should.
