Mauthausen Memorial Park
more than a year ago
Nowadays the site of the concentration camp, the only one on Slovene territory, is marked by an impressive sculpture. The monument is in the shape of a skeleton with a heart, raising its arms to the sky accompanied by the inscription on the pedestal: j'accuse (I accuse). Across the road the foundations of a large part of the camp still remain and information signs specify the exact layout of the complex and the function of the buildings. In the cellar of the nearby Koren restaurant is a memorial room with an exhibition consisting of the prisoners' personal belongings, the tools they used and photographs of the camp and its detainees. The whole site is a monumental place, and we recommend visiting this historically important location.
