Das Konzentrationslager Mauthausen war das größte Konzentrationslager der Nationalsozialisten in den damaligen Donau- und Alpenreichsgauen, dem heutigen Österreich. Es befand sich in Mauthausen, 15 Kilometer östlich von Linz, und existierte vom 8. August 1938 bis zu seiner Befreiung durch US-amerikanische Truppen am 5. Mai 1945. Im Konzentrationslager Mauthausen waren zwischen 1938 und 1945 mehr als 200.000 Personen aus ganz Europa inhaftiert, etwa die Hälfte wurde dort ermordet.
