My grandfather, survived the Mauthausen concentration camp. He, along with his two sisters and parents were all deported to one of the labour camps in 1944 after the Nazi Germany invaded Yugoslavia. They managed to escape along with some other Slovenians and walked for more than 100 km, avoiding beeing seen from any patrols or local population. I wanted him to tell me many times about his ordeal in detail, but he got so emotional and almost started crying that I stopped at that point. He passed away in April at age 87.

He spoke German fluently, but never let anyone from the family to learn that language in the school.

My grandfather was there. He was arrested as normal citizen in 1942... He survived a lot of tortures, and beatings.. He was liberated by the Americans in 1945... He told many sad and frightening stories. On the first day when he got there, he accidentally looked the German officer in the eyes and because of that he received several strong punches to the head and body... He also told me about the hard work, carrying a stone down and up the stairs, about the food which was sawdust and beet soup!!!

Thank you for this documentary. Dad was a slave/prisoner in Mauthausen and Auschwitz. He confided in me about this time of his life only once, when he got sick. Sadly, only then did I realize that he suffered every day the Shoah. When he was a patient at Mt. Sinai hospital, I would sit with him and we would listen to lectures and music. (He was legally blind.) Every time there was a mention of the Holocaust or the Kaddish was sung his ventilator’s alarms started ringing. So that trauma sat there always, the elephant in the room. His life was difficult and he fought and he won. He wanted to live. L’chaim. His motto, “get into line, I will overcome”. However, the hospital and their oaths to only heal the sick is run as a business. The Natzi’s couldn’t finish him off, but the butchers at the hospital did.

I visited this camp in 1982, - 37 years ago as a 22 year old. The images are still vivid but other aspects of this place are not portrayed in the video clip tour. These other sites were even more breathtaking as they were real: soap made from humans, lamp shades made of tattooed human skin, rooms full of shoes and left luggage. The gas chamber with shower head and tiled walls, the rusted heat treated gurney for placing corpses into a furnace. This gurney was heavy by itself and difficult to manage. The sobering visit has stayed with me for decades and has always reinforced my view to be grateful to the military who stood between us and this; to be thankful for where I live - a peaceful country by comparison.

The final salt-in-the-wound of the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis was the fact that SO MANY of them went unpunished, either because they were considered low-level, the allies did not have the resources to bring them all to trial, or they were aided in their escape to Argentina by various groups, including the Catholic Church, and others. They too, have blood on their hands. Unfortunately, man is quite good at NOT learning from history and repeating genocide all over the planet.

Good film, good explanation. I was there. I will never forget it. Our children need to go there and see this stuff. Maybe, they might understand what went on. This needs to be taught in American schools. To the point of older comments: "luke Porter 9 months ago Did this place have cliff were they walked people off with rocks I went to one in the year 2000 but can't remember which one" Yes --this is where they pushed the prisoners off at the top of the Quirey --they made each one push another off. The heavy rocks they brought up the stairs---they would push a man backward and watch him die falling down the rock steps with his heavy rock on top of him. The Germans have torn down and will do anything --to remove anything to get rid of WW2. Over the years, prisoners have returned and re-build parts of these camps (they had to be torn down because of health reasons). Never forget.

The ultimate cowardice - making one prisoner push another. Perhaps that way they lied to themselves that they didn't have blood on their hands. How on earth does one become so cruel and bereft of humanity? My belief in God wavers, but I do believe I have to answer to some sort of higher power. There should always be that healthy fear of accountability and consequences. The arrogance of these people was off the scale.

Love the violin. I play it myself. But can’t hear the commentary for it! Gave up 2 minutes in.

@Craig F. Thompson You fucking asshole. What an ignorant thing to say. America fought the Nazis and ended this horror. Douchebag.

@Craig F. Thompson You are crazier than a shithouse rat. I hope you don't live in the United States, and if you do then why don't you leave if you hate it so much? Your comments are insane including the ones blubbering about prison conditions here in America. Here's an idea: Don't commit criminal acts and you won't end up in prisons. It's pretty easy to follow the laws set forth in this Constitutional Republic, and if you can't abide by these laws then you are a pretty stupid failure as a human being.

Burn it into your memories.. so when you do finally become aware of it.. I can whisper from the grave.. "I told you so!" GOD help us all..

@Pitt Burgh Well, I will let you figure that one out for yourself my friend.. It's no fun when people supply the answers for you.. you can always say 'they lie"... Finding it out for yourself will let you see some things you never thought possible..

@Pitt Burgh Burgh.. why so hostile? Can't you do your own research? you just go with what "everybody" else knows? And there are plenty of people who know what I know.. it's not a secret.. I would have told you where to look if you had asked.. But since you and "everybody" already know then you probably do not need me to tell you.. Sorry dude you are just going to have sit in your vomitus anger and stew with your "everybody else".. how sad you have become..

Just gonna point out that our generation is the LAST generation to be able to see WW2 veterans alive. They are now over 90 and probably will die in a few years.

I thought the Mauthausen Cafe was tasteless. Both in flavor and in terms of appropriateness. If the poor victims of Mauthausen were always starving…why are you cramming your face with pizzas, fries and burgers?

people seem to think this was SUCH a long time ago, but it's not, one way i worked it out for myself is, I'm only 39, i was born in 1980. if my life was counted backwards from 1980 instead of forwards in 39 years i would be alive in 1941... thats how close it was!!
