I remember the first time I visited the place. It was at the end of the 70s and already on the way into the building I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and the creepiness was overwhelming. If I had had any doubts about what kind of place it was, the doubts evaporated instantly. Back then, the place was neither very friendly nor welcoming. It was raw and brutal, as it was when the atrocities were committed. In short, I don't like what they have turned the place into. I think it is good that we are sometimes reminded of what has happened in places like Plötzenssee. And the fact that we can almost feel the evil that took place there helps us to understand that it must never happen again. For the same reason, I also believe that it is a misunderstanding that children should be able to come everywhere and therefore we turn these places into nice and cosy playgrounds . This is NOT for children.
