We are...
resist the beginnings
. . . a non-partisan, anti-fascist Mauthausen activist group interested in culture and history, which positions itself against any form of contempt for people.
We have set ourselves the goal of helping to shape Mauthausen both internally and externally as a place of cultural encounter and understanding.
An important cooperation partner is the Mauthausen Committee Austria.
Our cause
To sharpen perception...
…for totalitarian and inhuman germs in ourselves and in our society. What is important to us is living democracy and civil courage.
Working together with the Mauthausen Comitee Austria...
…and local initiativgroups. Support of the Mauthausen Committee Austria in its activities, especially in the establishment of the planned European Youth Meeting Place.
Be a contact...
…for all those who want to have more contact with residents or contemporary witnesses from Mauthausen beyond the visit of the former concentration camp.
Holding of cultural events...
…which help with understanding and reappraising history.
To find the dialog with younger people...
…and give them the possibility to concern oneself with history as well as the fascist and racist tendencies and the alienation of people.
The name Mauthausen...
…is undoubtedly synonymous in Austria with the contempt for humanity of the Nazi terror. Mauthausen thus occupies a central position as a place of remembrance. As "perspective mauthausen“;, we would also like to contribute to a place of reflection, a mauthausen that, aware of its history, actively fulfils its responsibilities and tasks today and tomorrow.
