Do many people actually cry in places like that? Get sad and deep in thought sure, but cry?

The one in actual concentration camp has things that you cannot unsee. Once you are standing in front of a massive pile of glasses or artificial limbs taken from the victims you only realize this place was a factory of death, purpose built to exterminate at the highest efficiency and lowest cost. Members of the same species built this recently - some survivors and perpetrators are still alive. ....fuuuuuuck.
Imagine having a personal connection on top of that.

And they send you as a kid and teenager. This stuff is horrifying.

My ex-wife just called the police on me because I'm standing on her front porch laughing like a maniac. Do I change the narrative in this way?

I've been to the Washington DC holocaust museum and the one where I live (Tampa, FL), both well organized but I didn't have that "this is where it happened" effect.
I guess it's not really a musem per se if it's at a camp itself (unless it's an attached/new facility), more of a memorial. That's different and it seems like a good idea to keep them preserved.

Some do, especially if someone they loved, like grandparent made it through alive.

Standing on a bridge looking down at a sea of children’s shoes at the holocaust museum. You bet your ass I cried.

Apparently, some people are very sensitive when it comes to such subjects.
