Although the Mauthausen camp complex was mostly a labour camp for men, a women's camp was opened in Mauthausen, in September 1944, with the first transport of female prisoners from Auschwitz.
Hoci bol komplex Mauthausen-Gusen pracovným táborom pre mužov, s prvým ženským transportom z Auschwitzu v septembri 1944, otvorili v Mauthausene aj tábor pre ženy.
