KZ. Mauthausen, Bild und Wort [Mauthausen Concentration Camp, words and pictures], by Simon Wiesenthal. Linz-Vienna: Ibis, 1946. German.
Simon Wiesenthal's memoirs from the Mauthausen concentration camp, with illustrations and photo-collages by Wiesenthal, portraying the atrocities which he experienced in Mauthausen. Tens of drawings, signed in print and dated 1945.
Simon Wiesenthal ("Nazi Hunter", 1908-2005), a Jewish architect, holocaust survivor, who devoted his life to track down and gather information on alleged Nazi war criminals with the intention of using the material at future war crimes trials. During WWII Wiesenthal was moved through various concentration camps. In 1945 he arrived in Mauthausen where he survived until the camp was liberated. After his release he started to work for the United States army in gathering material on Nazi war criminals. In 1947 he founded the “Jewish Historical Documentation Center” in Linz, Austria. Due to lack of interest in prosecuting Nazi war criminals the center was closed but Wiesenthal continued privately to collect and document material about Nazi criminals.
