Uno mismo-gobierno

The Concentration camp of Ebensee , in Austria, was an appendix of the concentration camp of Mauthausen.

Opened the November 18th 1943 and released the May 6th 1945, it is located at the southern end of the Lac Traun with approximately 75km in the south-west of the town of Linz.
This camp had as a function first to provide a labor for the construction of tunnels intended to accommodate arms factories. The prisoners worked nearly 2 p.m. per day and took turns so that the activity of the building sites is assured 24 hours on 24.
Very important mortality is in particular due to the conditions of lodging completely unsuited to the winter conditions and the rations of food which, at best, consisted of 1/2 liter of an ersatz coffee, of 3/4 liter of a soup of peels of potatoes and bread 150g. The camp not having the crematory ones, the bodies were regularly convoyed towards Mauthausen.
Ebensee is initially ordered by Georg Bachmayer, chosen by Franz Ziereis, itself ordering of Mauthausen, for its extreme brutality. It turns over to Mauthausen in 1944 by leaving the command of the camp to a mentally sick S, Otto Riemer. Riemer did not provide its sentinels in tobacco that if they cut down their quota of prisoners quotidien.
Ce macabre output that should soon be built crematory is so important.

One estimates at approximately 20.000 the number of prisoners who found death there. At the last days of the war, mortality reached the 350 men per day. It is undoubtedly, with the camp of Gusen, the worst appendix of Mauthausen.
Ten days after the release of the camp, Bachmayer assassinates the members of its family then commits suicide, but Otto Riemer manages to escape.
