Austria. If the name "Linz" is familiar. its because the Mauthausen concentration camp was near here and it was Hitlers and Eichmanns hometown. This is a typical corridor of one of the barracks in a refugee camp. This camp. like hundreds of other refugee camps all over Europe. was intended as a temporary dwelling for refugees while they wait to be admitted by a country where they hope to emigrate. settle. and start a new life. The tragedy. here. is that many of them have been waiting for 5 and 10 and even 15 years. During this period they were cared for but many of them were not able to get work. After a few years of waiting. their hopes dwindle and the inactivity and the loss of hope create the most devastating moral and physical deterioration in these people. Some of them who entered the camp in perfect health only a few years ago. today. could not qualify for immigration on the grounds of Ill health. Look at these barracks80 people live in this one. On each side of this corridor there are some 15 rooms.
