Overview
Mauthausen; a name infamous to the survivors of one of the most horrific concentration camps in all the Third Reich. Located only minutes from the birth place of Adolf Hitler, Mauthausen was designated a Class III concentration camp, meaning freedom was unlikely. Tens upon tens of thousand of Russians, Poles, Gypsies, Hungarians, Czechs, Spaniards, Jehovah Witnesses, priests, homosexuals, men, women, children and the physically and mentally disabled along with thousands of Jews were slaughtered at Mauthausen and its many sub-camps. From the back breaking work in the Vienna ditch to the Jew Jump to the savagery of SS doctor Aribert Heim. This is Mauthausen, is a compilation of seldom seen material, and as an introductory book it is one of the few English language books covering the 7 year history of the camp personally selected by Heinrich Himmler. This is Mauthausen reviews the recently declassified OSS Dawes operation, and the gruesome Castle Hartheim, both intimately tied to Mauthausen. This book reviews the Dachau post-war trials, a death-bed confession and will culminate with a walk of the 186 stairs of death. Lastly, Thompson suggests modern terrorist groups Hamas and ISIS may have been born the moment a relationship was established between the Nazi and Arab world. Jihadism may accomplish what Nazism did not.
