“Very interesting but sad to think that humans could treat other in such a way as did happen here. Our driver for the day was excellent in giving us information on the journey through Vienna.”
Mauthausen Memorial day trip from Vienna with round-trip coach, audio guide in 11 languages, quarry stop, and time to explore.
“A visit to a concentration camp is never an easy or comfortable experience. However, as a retired World History and Holocaust teacher it is a NECESSARY experience especially in current times. To some history is uncomfortable and that is why we need to understand why it is uncomfortable and not repeat it. This visit was so very enlightening due to our incredible guide Ferdinand. His knowledge and insight into the camp seen through the perpetrators and the victims made this a truly and necessary experience. This tour is a must to understand the past and how it relates to the present and NEVER allow to happen again.”
A 45-minute Linz Harbor Cruise on the MS Linzerin with Danube views, commentary, and Linzer cake for about $17.
