The Gusen labour camp was a sub-camp of the notoriously brutal Mauthausen concentration camp. The camp housed slave labour used in the construction of a complex of tunnels which were built for the production of petroleum and armaments, the most secret project being the construction of Gemany’s first jet fighter. The memorial is situated on the site of the former incinerator as a stark reminder of the inhuman acts which took place here. In May 2004 a new visitor centre directly adjoining the memorial opened its doors to the public. The exhibition shows material remains of the camp and documents the suffering of the inmates.
