Konzentrationslager Ebensee = Ebensee Concentration Camp

A booklet consisting of photographs and commentary accompanying an exhibition in the tunnels at Ebensee (Austria). These tunnels were built for armaments production; the laborers were prisoners brought from Mauthausen. Describes the inhuman conditions in the camp, noting that the Jews were treated worst. Toward the end of the war, the camp became overcrowded with prisoners evacuated from camps further east; the camp commandant attempted to solve this problem by causing the speedy death of sick Jewish prisoners by deliberate neglect and exposure to cold. The camp was constructed in November 1943; by the time of the liberation in May 1945, more than 8,300 inmates had perished in this camp.
