Well worth the trip out there. Sad. BIG. Insane to think of how much planning went into this (there was an architect) and how much was prepared, for such evil purposes - more terrible than even planned intentions had been, as it was so rapidly outgrown.
A few Web sites for this interested in learning more:

The entrance gate. No one knew why they were here. How long they'd be here. What was about to happen...
Random paintings in the kitchen prep area. I believe they have some suspected artists, but it remains a mystery when they were done, or where the paint came from.
Horrible, horrible things happened here. All were masked by music.
