This summer i lived in Berlin for two months and journeyed to the concentration camp Sachsenhausen Gedenkstätte, situated north of the city. To those who have visited a concentration camp before, i'm sure you'll know what i mean when i say the morgues in these places have an incredibly different effect on you to say an ordinary hospital morgue. I know this seems obvious, but i really don't think it was possible for me to fully comprehend how i would feel till i was in there. This was really quite a devastating experience for me, but a unique one nonetheless. If you think you can deal with it, you all should try to visit one.
The whole concentration camp is a huge site, and almost everything is still standing and available to explore. i must have taken hundreds of photos. To narrow it down. here are a few images of the morgue and a wikipedia link for those who want to know more:-
down to the cellar where the bodies were kept... excuse the poor lighting in the next photos. it was very dark down there. i was also pretty scared being how silent and cold it was, and the fact i was the only one in there.
