Memorial Site Gunskirchen

Making visible, what must never be forgotten.

At the site of the former Gunskirchen Satellite Camp, an innovative memorial is being created to commemorate the tens of thousands of people who were imprisoned here during the final weeks of the war and left to die under inhuman conditions. For a long time, the place and its history remained almost invisible. The memorial tells the story of the camp and its victims.

What Mauthausen Committee Austria (MKÖ) and concentration camp survivor Daniel Chanoch envisioned years ago is now becoming reality: In the forest where the satellite camp once stood, the MKÖ is building the Gunskirchen Memorial Site, which is both a memorial and an educational project. Tangible on-site and virtually accessible in web browsers across the world.

More information and visualizations can be found at www.gedenkort-gunskirchen.at.

The memorial site is being realized in part through crowdfunding and will thus become a memorial site for civil society in Austria. We invite you to become part of an important remembrance and education project.

With your donation, we will ensure that history is made visible and that remembrance is kept alive.
