While I dare to say I'm generally not easily impressed or emotional: after being just a few minutes on the premises, you can get an idea of what those poor people had to go through. Just by being there. You don't have to read much.

I would describe it as the feeling of powerlessness that everything in that place signifies.

You immediately now you'll never get out (unless they let you, which of course didn't happen). You couldn't decide anything yourself (eat, sleep, toilet,...). Might sound like a regular prison, but it's not.

Not that I have any idea what it must have been like of course.

I think it would be somehow wise/responsible if everyone would visit it once. I wouldn't call it tourism.
