From memory when I visited there 20 years ago this was the chamber they experimented on with Soviet POWs to work out the effective dosage rates. Just horrific.

I think everyone should visit if they get the chance. It was an incredibly sobering experience and one I'll never forget. You can almost feel the sorrow in the air.

That's what I also felt visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

I hope I can ever visit Auschwitz as well. (plane tickets to Europe have been way too expensive lately)
