The Wiener Graben granite quarry, the heart of prisoner exploitation at Mauthausen. Here thousands of deportees were forced into exhausting labor, carrying stone blocks up the 186 steps of the Stairs of Death. Today vegetation has reclaimed this natural amphitheater, transforming a place of suffering into a space for reflection.
