    The most depressing place I ever set foot in. Everybody that can should go at least once in their life time.

    I never went there but I don't think I'd handle it very well...

    For me was the opposite. I knew about the horrors, so I knew what to expect and so never thought it would have that much of an emotional impact. I was wrong. It's not that I learned anything about the history...but you feel it. You really do.

    At least I did.

    Normally I do too. That's why I don't wanna go there.

    I really don't think I could take it. Just by thinking about it I'm all goose bumped...

    Truly an incredible place, to realise that such evil occurred right where you are standing. I can honestly say I've never felt anything like I did when I passed through the gate under that sign.
