Gusen concentration camp
Gusen concentration camp
- ... that the life expectancy at Gusen concentration camp (pictured) was as short as six months? Source: "Life expectancy in the period 1940–1 was about six months from the date of arrival," (Pike 2003, p. 92)
- ALT1:... that Austrian schoolchildren walked past Gusen concentration camp (pictured) and witnessed the killings that took place there? Source: "Santiago Raga, who worked on the construction of the wall, saw Austrian children passing every morning on their way to school. They were eyewitnesses to the daily crimes. Never once did Raga see a child or anyone else stop or show the slightest emotion or the smallest sign of indignation at the sight of prisoners mercilessly beaten or electrocuted on the wire." (Pike 2003, p. 91) Note: it is a verifiable fact that Gusen is located on the road between two Austrian villages and initially there was only a see-through barbed wire fence (Waite 2009, p. 919–920)
