museum, etc. Plenty of movies that featured the death camps had me upset to the point that I felt traumatized. I've watched tours on TV. I've met children of survivors and soldiers who were liberators and witnessed the devastation. I have vague memories of meeting at least one survivor when I was young, but I cannot remember details.
