Monument to Lt. Gen. Dmitry Karbyshev. General Karbyshev has become a legend; streets and ships are named after him and the story of his death by torture is retold on the anniversary of the liberation of the camp and in annual celebrations of the Soviet victory in World War II.
The monument to him shows him encased in a block of ice.
The Mauthausen Museum version says that he was forced to stand outside all night while cold water was poured over him. Karbyshev was 64 years old when he died; he was posthumously made a Hero of the Soviet Union in 1946.
