Eh. I can see it being weird, and I can see getting emotional over certain parts of the camp that would make me visualize something, like one of the gas chambers, or one of the prisoner barracks, but as for just being there in general, I imagine much of it probably just looks like boring, ugly buildings, so I don't see why everybody should be expected to have such a visceral emotional reaction just by the sheer presence of the place.
