In memory of the victims from Poland who were deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp during the Second World War, the Polish memorial was erected in the international memorial park at the Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial and was presented to the public on June 3, 1956. The initiative was taken by the Embassy of the People's Republic of Poland, and was realized by the architect Theodor Bursze. Among grey stone pillars stands a monumental urn. On the back of the memorial, a gaunt figure is carved into the stone.
