Presentation

Photographs from the Mauthausen concentration camp. The exhibition presents all the existing image collections: SS photographs, photographs taken by liberated prisoners and by the American liberators. At the Martigues History Gallery. Free admission.
In no other camp have so many photographs been preserved.
The SS photographed a lot: bureaucratic filing of prisoners, exaltation of the disciplinary and hygienic model, attempted escapes.
In the final weeks of their rule, they destroyed all kinds of archives en masse.
But at Mauthausen, a unique operation enabled hundreds of original negatives of Nazi photos to be smuggled out of the camp, hidden away and then entrusted to a local woman, before being recovered at the time of the Liberation.
Opening period (s)From 07/10 to 29/10/2025 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 8.30 am and 12 pm and between 1.30 pm and 5.30 pm. On Saturday between 10 am and 12.30 pm and between 2 pm and 6 pm.
