Museum of Modern History and Concentration Camp Memorial commemorates the Ebensee concentration camp which was established as a labour camp subordinate to the infamous Mauthausen concentration camp. The purpose of the camp was to house slave labour to work on a system of huge underground headquarters for the Lufwaffe and as a site for research and development of the proposed intercontinental missile. The underground system was eventually used, however, for petroleum refining and the manufacture of parts for tanks and trucks. The museum exhibits serve as a chilling reminder of a regime which literally worked thousands of camp inmates to death.
