Mauthausen - a former Nazi concentration camp

16 students from 6 countries took part in our summer program from June 16 to July 24. Besides classes on two different levels we offered many exciting cultural trips and excursions to selected places of interest in Austria and Germany. Here you’ll find some reports written by students.

"With our Sprachschule class we visited Mauthausen. It is the site of a former Nazi concentration camp. We took a tour of the camp and learned a lot about the way that people were treated. It was really quite sobering to see the way they lived. We visited chambers, rooms and all sorts of really shocking things. After our tour of the concentration camp we visited a lake. There we had a chance to see a lot of Austria’s beautiful people and its beautiful scenery. We decided to take a dip in the lake and relax from a very exhausting day. That was a really good day."
