Tour do Memorial do Campo de Concentração de Mauthausen em Viena

This was a very special tour, and although there was some travel time, it was absolutely worth it. The memorial arranged a specific English-speaking guide to lead us, which was a world apart from a typical audio guide. The guide not only explained things clearly but also helped us understand how contemporary people viewed the existence of the concentration camp from the perspective of its geographical location and the community. It turns out there were even supporters of the concentration camp among the residents. The guide was also very emotional and adept at stirring the historical sentiments of the group, creating a strong sense of resonance. Although she said it was only her fourth time leading an English tour, she was outstanding. Unlike a typical history museum, this place had an added solemnity and prompted much reflection. To see war criminals who faced no punishment still living well, and to confront the hundreds of thousands of names of those who suffered in the concentration camp... it truly makes one reflect on how heartbreaking the reality behind war is!

This was a very detailed tour through an important part of history. Our guide was very considerate and knowledgeable. The tour ran on time. I just wish that other people on the tour had respect for the quiet spaces.
