The imposing entrance to Mauthausen concentration camp, built with granite blocks quarried by prisoners from the nearby quarry. The massive walls and guard towers bear witness to the oppressive architecture of the Nazi concentration camp system. Today this portal represents the passage to a place of memory and reflection.
