my dad took me there on our drive back from his farm house near Epinal when i was 13. really sombre experience.
sadly the lasting memory for me was my dad had been telling me all about how it's such a damaged place that even now the birds there don't sing. so he wasn't happy when I pointed out the very obvious birdsong to him while we were there.
